A warehouse may flag an item that should have been created as a kit but was set up as a normal SKU. Normally this is due to human error but can also occur whenever a supplier updates how an item is packaged.
This SKU will now become the parent SKU and we'll need to build the child SKUs under it.
If the SKU has inventory in other warehouses and/or is outstanding on POs and/or is on SOs then we will have to take additional steps before we can turn it into a KitBOM.
If the SKU is not in inventory, is not on an SO and is not on any POs then we can just create the new child SKUs and create the KitBOM per the normal process.
Quit the SKU which has been flagged as requiring a kit, hereafter referred to as "PSKU".
Create all the child SKUs for PSKU. You will need to obtain these from the supplier via a submission form. As per the normal kitting process, the sum of the cost prices for the child SKUs must equal the total cost price of PSKU. Confirm with the supplier if these child SKUs can be sold separately.
Once you have created the child SKUs, mark them quit.
Do an OOR for the PSKU and request the supplier cancel everything. Anything that can't be cancelled will need to be noted so you can recreate the POs once the KitBOM is created.
Do a SOH for the PSKU and ask each warehouse that has the stock in their locations to verify if they have all the boxes for the child SKUs that compose it.
Once confirmed, ask Frances Covel and Rebecca Pascuzzo to rebook the current quantities of PSKU in each location under the relevant quantities of the child SKUs. You won't be able to create the kits until all inventory has been removed from PSKU.
Obtain a list of all the SOs that have PSKU on them. Once you're ready to create the PSKU kit, ask OF to delete PSKU from the SOs, taking note of the quantities.
At the same time, remove PSKU from any outstanding POs, taking note of the quantities.
Once done, create the Kitbom under PSKU and mark it and the child SKUs active.
Add PSKU back to the POs with the correct quantities and release the POs.
Inform OF to add PSKU back to the SOs with the correct quantities and release them.
