You kit a work order after you have created and released that work order, and before you complete the work order.

Kitting components for a work order issues those components to that work order and creates an inventory change. The inventory change contains one inventory transaction for each component.

Before you kit a work order, you must have the following set up: 

• Stock movement rules
• Item Specification for an assembly item that includes components with Type set to Kit
• Released work order for the assembly item
• Inventory for each component item that's available in a location that's set up for kitting

Note: You can check component availability for your work order before you kit it to be sure you've got all the components you need on hand. Learn more about Work Order Check Component Availability.

You can kit a work order any time after you release it, but before you complete it.

Important: You only kit components as follows if those components are not tied to routings. If your kit components are tied to routings, they won't appear on the Kit page. Remember to issue the components from WIP when you record operations. To learn more, see Record Operations on Work Orders.

To kit a work order, follow these steps: 

1. From the Work Order list page, click the work order number you want to kit.
   Note: Make sure the work order is released before you kit it.
2. Click Kit. The Kit Work Order screen is displayed.
3. Click Expand All to expand all the component lines.
4. Click Populate Component Quantities. The system enters default quantities into the Quantity to Issue column for each component.
   

   Note: If there's not enough quantity of a component available, Kenandy populates the available quantity in the Quantity to Issue column and the quantity you still need in the Quantity Short column for the component.

5. If needed, enter a different Quantity to Issue for any Item.
6. If you don't have enough components in your default location to match the Quantity to Issue the Quantity Required, check other locations for this component and if you find it, transfer it to the location you kit from. To learn about transferring inventory, see Inventory Transfers and Updates.
   
   If you typically kit components from a location that doesn't appear on the kit page, talk to your Kenandy administrator about adding the location you use to the stock movement rules so that it appears.
   
   You can also click (plus sign) to add a line with a different location. Then enter a Quantity to Issue from that location.
7. If you track serial numbers for components, click Serials and add the serial numbers of the components you're kitting.
8. Click Save.

The work order Status changes to In Process.

Kenandy does the following:

• Updates the Quantity Issued for each component you kitted on its Material Tracking record
• Creates a WIP type SKID for each component you kitted and ties that SKID to the component's Material Tracking record
• Creates an Inventory Transaction of type Work Order Component Issue

What Comes Next

After you've used the components, record the operation you used them in.

If you need to scrap some kitted components because they were damaged, expired, or not used, dekit/scrap those components. Learn more about Work Order Dekitting and Scrapping.

To record kitted components you've used in a work order operation, follow these steps: 

1. In the Operations section of the Work Order Details page, click Record for the operation you want to record.
2. Enter the Quantity To Complete, Quantity To Scrap, Hours, and any additional information like Lot Number and Serials into the Complete/Scrap Information table.
3. Click the Issue From WIP tab, then click Expand All to see details for each component.
4. Enter the amount of this component you used in the Quantity to Issue field.
5. Click Save and Return (or Save and New if you want to go on to record the next operation immediately.)

The Quantity Completed field is updated in the Operations area of the Work Order Detail page.

Kenandy does the following:

• Updates the Operation Tracking record
• Creates an Operation Transaction
• Updates the Material Tracking record for each component you used
• Creates an Inventory Change of type Work Order Complete
• Creates Inventory Transactions of type Work Order Issue from WIP for each component you used

What Comes Next

After you've recorded all the operations for this work order, its status is automatically set to Complete.

The following table lists the fields that Kenandy provides. Your system administrator selects the fields that are displayed on your user interface.

Kit Page Field Descriptions

Field	Description
Item	A component that's needed to complete this work order. The Item comes from the Components list on the item specification.
Material Tracking	The material tracking record number and link for this component. The material tracking record is tied to this work order. The WIP SKID for this component is tied to the material tracking record.
Packaging UOM	The UOM you use to keep track of this item in your warehouse.
Quantity Issued	The number of this component you've kitted and backflushed to this work order. Quantity Issued changes when you enter a value into Quantity to Issue in the expanded component line on this page and click Save.
Quantity Required	The number of this component needed to complete this work order. Quantity Required comes from the Quantity per Assembly field on the Components list on the item specification.
Quantity Scrapped	The number of this component you recorded as scrapped. The Quantity Scrapped can come from the Quantity Scrapped field on either Record Operations page or the Dekit/Scrap page.
Quantity Short	The number of this component that you haven't issued to this work order. The Quantity Short is calculated by subtracting the Quantity Issued from the Quantity Required.
Quantity Used	The number of this component you recorded as used to complete an operation in this work order. The Quantity Used comes from the Quantity Used field on the Issue from WIP tab on the Record Operations page. You enter this quantity when you record an operation.

Item Expanded Line Field Descriptions

Field	Description
Action	The Serials action button. If you track this component by serial number, click the Serials button to enter the serial numbers for the components you're issuing to this work order.
Bin	The bin this component is stocked in.
Consigned Owner	Tells you who this component is consigned from (the owner of the component).
Date Received	The date this component was received.
Expiration Date	This component's expiration date.

When you click Populate Component Quantity and it adds values to Quantity to Issue, these quantities come from the Quantity per Assembly in the Components area of the item specification. The Quantity to Issue value is copied to the automatically created Inventory Transaction of type Work Order Component Issue. Kenandy generates a new Inventory Transaction every time you issue components. For example, if you issue partial quantities three times to complete the work order, Kenandy generates three Inventory Transactions of type Work Order Component Issue.
Rental	Tells you whether or not this component can be rented.
Used	Tells you whether this component is used or new.
