How Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains Is Useful in Item Kit Arrangement?

Posted by John Rollins on February 24th, 2020

In the MS Dynamics GP (Great Plains) setting up items as kit can be an incredible answer for overseeing various kinds of Sales Transactions, yet dealing with few only few items in the manufacturing line.

 

The Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains gives you an additional flexibility for selecting the item kits. For instance, if you had a customer that was delivering out showing units to their clients as an approach to get the client to use and in the end purchase their products. They needed the product to be set up as a Demonstration Item and to have the option to see the original product on the business request being transported out as a Demonstration Item. 

They didn't fabricate the product explicitly as showing item. They delivered one product keeping in mind about that one thing. They would not like to create separate plans for two separate things that were a similar thing. 

An incredible method to deal with this kind of situation is to arrange the showing thing as a kit items, and add the genuine item to the unit as a segment. The client can make a boundless number of finished products that can show up on a Sales Order, yet simply have the genuine product as the segment for each situation. There are a few difficulties and before you begin working with kits, it is a smart thought to investigate what difficulties will be. 

1. If you are using the Returns Module (RMA'S) in Great Plains, you can't restore the Kit Item. 

In Microsoft Dynamics GP10 and prior, you can restore the segments of the pack and not simply the unit thing. So when you make a RMA in Returns Management, you won't have the option to choose the unit thing to return rather you are just ready to choose the segments. On one hand, this bodes well since the parts are what are moved go into stock. Then again, when you are following Returns through the RMA module, it makes an additional degree of overhead to deal with the parts as opposed to the Kit Item itself. 

You can lose perceivability in Returns Management with respect to what unit thing was returned. So in the event that you need to perceive what number of the limited things were returned and you are utilizing Returns Management, you won't see the pack thing in returns.
