Kit Request
Request kit builds by specifying quantities. View component availability with expiration filtering, generate work orders, and trigger KITBUILD workflows that create pick, build, and putaway tasks.
What is Kit Request?
Kit Request is the process of initiating a kit build by specifying how many kits you need. You can search by Parent Product name or enter theKit Set Number directly. The system validates against the KIT_SET_PARENTS table to ensure the kit profile exists with KitSetID = "KIT".
The Kit Request Explosion screen is divided into two sections: Section I shows Parent Info (Product, Description, Kit Number, Notes, and Number of Kits to Build), whileSection II displays all Child Components with Required Quantity, Available Inventory, PickableProduct flag, and RealProduct flag.
V1.3: Expiration Filtering
Version 1.3 introduces automatic expiration filtering. The system checks Inventory_Control01 dates and excludes any inventory where the expiration date is set to the current date or earlier. This ensures you only see truly available, non-expired inventory in your calculations.
When you click "Build," JASCI creates WORK_TYPE_HEADERS and WORK_TYPE_LINES records with Task="KITBUILD" and WorkFlowID="KIT". The system then calls the Kit Allocation Inventory workflow to allocate inventory and create executable work for operators.
Understanding the Display
Two key columns tell you if you can build
Required Quantity
Child Quantity × Number of Kits to be Built. Calculated automatically when you enter the build quantity.
Available Inventory
Pickable Inventory minus Open Outbound minus Expired. Only includes inventory from locations where AllocationAllowable="Y".
Available Inventory Formula
How JASCI calculates what you can actually use
Pickable Inventory
INVENTORY_LEVELS records where Location is not blank, Hold_Code is blank, and LOCATIONS.AllocationAllowable = "Y"
Open Outbound
WORK_TYPE_LINES where Area/Location not blank and Status ≠ "COMPLETED". Accumulated QuantityRequired.
Expired (V1.3)
Inventory where Inventory_Control01 date is set to current date or earlier. Automatically excluded from pickable.
Generated Work Order Tasks
One request creates a complete workflow
KITBUILD
Work created with WorkFlowID="KIT" and Task="KITBUILD" for each pickable child
Allocation
Kit Allocation Inventory workflow assigns inventory to work lines
Execution
Operators receive pick, build, and putaway tasks on mobile devices
Key Capabilities
Everything you need to request kit builds
Dual Lookup Methods
Search by Parent Product name or Kit Set Number directly, or use "Display All Kits" to browse all available kit profiles with sortable columns.
Expiration Filtering
V1.3 automatically filters out expired inventory from availability calculations by checking Inventory_Control01 expiration dates.
Real-Time Availability
Available Inventory = Pickable Inventory minus Open Outbound minus Expired. Only shows allocatable inventory from valid locations.
Build Instructions
Up to 8 instruction codes per kit (parent and child level). Instructions marked for "Build" display as popup buttons.
Kit Notes Integration
System checks for open notes linked to the Kit Set Number and displays "YES" indicator with ability to view full notes.
KITBUILD Work Generation
Click "Build" to create WORK_TYPE_HEADERS and WORK_TYPE_LINES records with Task="KITBUILD" and WorkFlowID="KIT".
Request Workflow
Five steps from request to work order
Enter Kit Identity
Enter Parent Product name or Kit Set Number directly. System validates against KIT_SET_PARENTS table.
Kit Explosion
System displays Parent Info (Section I) and Child Components (Section II) with all details.
Review Availability
Check Available Inventory vs Required Quantity for each pickable child. Red indicates shortage.
Enter Build Quantity
Specify number of kits to build. Must be greater than zero. Required quantities recalculate.
Build
When "OK to Build" displays, click Build. System calls Kit Allocation Inventory workflow.
