| The Ship Kit Complete constraint |  |
| Kit handling allows shipping incomplete subkits. For individual sales orders or sales order lines, however, you can use the Ship Kit Complete constraint to enforce shipping of complete topkits or subkits. If insufficient inventory is available to fulfil an entire sales order or sales order line, only the inventory that makes up complete topkits or subkits is advised. Example A sales order line lists four pieces of subkit A and constraint Ship Kit Complete is specified on the sales order line.. Subkit A consists of the following components:
Component | Quantity | Inventory unit
--- | --- | ---
C1 | 3 | pcs
C2 | 4 | pcs
C3 | 6 | pcs
The available inventory for subkit A is:
Component | Quantity | Inventory unit
--- | --- | ---
C1 | 15 | pcs
C2 | 18 | pcs
C3 | 20 | pcs
The sales order line for subkit A results in three outbound order lines within one order set. The ordered quantities for the outbound order lines are:
OOL | Component | Qty sk | Qty BOM | Qty Comp | Inventory unit
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
001 | C1: | 4 | 3 | 12 | pcs
002 | C2: | 4 | 4 | 16 | pcs
003 | C3 | 4 | 6 | 24 | pcs
Legend
OOL | Outbound order line
Qty sk | Ordered quantity of subkits
Qty BOM | Component quantity per subkit
Qty Comp | Ordered quantity per component Qty sk * Qty BOM)
The available inventory is insufficient for component C3. Therefore, ERP LN advises only three instead of four subkits A. For the last subkit, a back order is generated. The advised quantities after generating the outbound advices are:
- | Advice for C1: 3 * 3 = 9 pcs
- | Advice for C2: 3 * 4 = 12 pcs
- | Advice for C3: 3 * 6 = 18 pcs
Component | Subkits | Component qty | Inventory unit
--- | --- | --- | ---
C1: | 3 | 9 | pcs
C2: | 3 | 12 | pcs
C3 | 3 | 18 | pcs
For each outbound order line, an inventory shortage message appears if insufficient inventory is available to fulfil the order. Note The Ship Kit Complete constraint only works for generated outbound advice. If the outbound advice is manually created or manually changed or deleted after generating the outbound advice, ERP LN does not perform the ship kit complete check for the outbound advice, but postpones this until confirm shipment. Therefore, if delivery of complete kits is no longer required while the outbound procedure is in process, to bypass the ship kit complete constraint, regenerate the outbound advice (to advise incomplete kits as well) and remove the ship kit complete constraint from the sales order line before confirming the relevant shipments. If negative inventory is allowed, ERP LN does not perform the ship kit complete check for generated or manually created outbound advice. How ERP LN calculates the quantity to be advised For the quantity of ordered subkits from the Quantity in Storage Unit field in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session, calculate the required quantity for each component of the subkit. For each component, calculate the available quantity taking into account: Inventory commitments Allocation buffers Inventory buffers Ownership Specifications, Negative inventory For each component, check for shortages. If present, advise the maximum number of complete subkits that fits into the available inventory. Related topics Overview of kit handling in Warehouse Management Negative inventory |
