Serialized Kits or Assembly Items? A Functionality Question SMiano 08-10-2006

Hi there!

We are new to the RMS world, and seem to be stumbling on a key concept. We
want to sell a computer system, built from components in inventory. Naturally
we want to record serial numbers for each item whether it be sold
individually or as part of a system build. Additionally we want the computer
itself to have a serial number. I don't see a way to create a kit that
contains serialized items, and when we make an assembly item the price comes
out wrong. (The computer costs less than the retail price of all the
components.)

Can anyone help out with a strategy or give insight as to what we are
missing? RMS seems to be an excellent application, I just can't seem to find
the functionality.

Regards,
Stephen

You can set a different price than the default price for each component of
the assembly. Go into the assemblies properties. You will see that you can
set a price for each individual component.

We noticed that, and considered it, but that involves some major editing
every time we have a part or price change. Additionally, assembly items fill
the userws work order with each part, but not the SKU for the actual
computer. :-

I think that an assembly is the best way to do this, but if you prefer a
Kit, how about creating a $0 cost/price serialized item and adding it as
a Tag Along Item to the Kit?
