Modify the Contents of a Kit on a Sales Order

This article will show you how to swap out parts in a Kit's recipe after entering the Kit on a line item of a Sales Order.

This allows you to make a change to the Kit's Recipe for this Order only while keeping the original Bill of Materials intact.

1. Enter a Kit on a Sales Order line item

Let's say our Client wanted to change the items included in our Widget Kit. We are running low on Basic Widgets so instead of receiving the standard 2 Basic Widgets and 1 Deluxe Widget, they requested us to include 1 extra Deluxe Widget in place of the Basic Widgets.

  • First we need to enter a Kit on a Sales Order line item.
  • Next, highlight the line item and double-click it to display the Recipe for the Kit (see next screenshot.)
