Hello,

I am unsure of the purpose of Stock Item kits in Acumatica.

I created a stock item and marked it as kit.

Then I defined the kit in kit specifications.  It is just 2 purchased parts in the kit.

I put if a sales order for the kit’s stock item ID and MRP did show it in the MRP display.

How do I generate something for the shop to build the kit from MRP?

It seems like I have to see the demand in MRP display, then open Kit Assembly and process this.

It seems like just having a BOM with 1 “assembly” operation and the component materials is a better way to go as I can generate the production order directly from MRP and when completed the completed kit goes into stock.

Am I missing some basic understanding of Kits in Acumatica?

Thanks!

MRP does not look at Kit Specification/Assemblies.  You would need to define you kit specifications as Bill of Materials and use production orders for assembly in order for MRP to plan for the kit requirements.
