To create a kit, go to IC | Inventory File and click the Add button to create a new item using the Inventory Add Wizard. On the first screen, enter an Item ID for the kit. This value can have letters and/or numbers, but if you want to create a bar code for the kit (see eNews #13), enter only numbers.
Once a non-duplicate Item ID has been entered, you can enter a description for the kit. Once this information is entered, click Next until you see the "Pricing Information" part of the wizard. Here, you need to change the Item Type to "Kit." You can enter additional information as desired and once you have entered all information you want, click Save twice.

Now that we have created the kit and have been returned to the Inventory screen, we can begin inserting items into the kit. Clicking the Kit Detail button will bring up a list of items within the kit. Since this is an item we just created, this list should be empty. To add items, click the Add button. Here, you can scan or key in the Item ID of the inventory item you wish to add to the kit. Once the item has been entered, the description will be displayed and you can alter the quantity within the kit if necessary. Click OK to add it to the kit.
You can add as many items as you wish to the kit. Once all items have been entered, click Close. The on-hand quantity of the kit is based on the on-hands of the individual items placed into the kit. Also, adding items to the kit when the Retail price is set will NOT alter the retail price, so make sure to set this price accordingly.
