 When setting up a build kit, this is like a bill of materials, but it's different as it does not combine all the items into one manufactured product.

 It helps you create a kit which is made up of individual items, which when sold can be viewed to the customer as a one item but multiple items coming out of your stock.

 We make use of the bill of materials module, a stock item and a custom item.

 Create a custom item and link this to a bill of materials recipe.

 You will need to put the tick on for build kit in order to activate it.

select the Bill of materials item and recipe that you want as a default.

 there are 2 other ticks on the setup.

1.update quantity tickbox - when ticked this will update the quantity on the custom item to match the number of bill of materials you are making.

2.Use kit parent group - this is used to process the general Ledger accounts of the custom item.  If the tick is off each item will process to its own sales and cost of sales accounts.  Put the tick on means you group everything together to put it into one sales account.
