BOM KIT

The concept of KIT is extensively used in manufacturing industries. The concept of BOM and KIT fall under different processes. KIT is a concept involving the sales process whereas BOM falls under the inventory process. KIT is an assembly of many finished items grouped together to be sold; its pricing is calculated for each finished item. KIT itself cannot be considered one stock; each finished item is stocked separately. For example, Universal Furnitures manufactures various types of furniture. When the company sells its furniture, it sells a dining table, chairs and cushions as a KIT. Thus, the finished items are sold as a group rather than individually Create Bill of Material (Components) Kits:
