Kit Analysis report

The Kit Analysis report provides insight into your kit component inventory and assembly capabilities. It lists the components used in a kit, the number of components needed, and the cost to build a kit. The report also shows you how many kits it's possible to assemble with current inventory on hand, and additional inventory needed to build the quantity required.

When you start using kits, you need to get answers to the following questions:

  • Is there is enough inventory to assemble the requisite number of kits to fulfill sales orders? If not, what additional components are needed to bundle non-stocked kits, and to build for stocked kits?
  • What are the totals for units on hand, on hold, and available?

You can define a range of kits to increase the scope of your report, shorten your information-gathering efforts, and generate the results in a hierarchical structure.

  1. Go to Inventory Control > All > Reports > Kit analysis.
  2. To include or exclude specific types of data in the report, set filters such as kit ID and warehouse ranges. To get fewer and more precise results in your report, set more filters.
  3. You can run this report without entering any search filters; however, the report might take a long time to run and might return too many results to be useful.
  4. Add title, subtitle, or footer text to your report

What's in this report?

The default Kit Analysis report consists of the following columns:

Report column heading Description

Warehouse

The warehouse where the kit is stored.

Item ID

Item name

The IDs for the kit, its subkits, and nested components. These columns display the nested level of the subkits and components that comprise the top-level kit, which is finished goods.

Kit type

The type of kit, either Kit or Stockable Kit, as defined when the kit was created as an item in Intacct.

Cost method

The accounting method for determining the cost of the kit, its subkits, and nested components.

UOM

The unit of measure Intacct used for the quantity calculations for the kit, its subkits, and nested components. For example, Each or a Dozen.

GL group

The GL group to which the kit was assigned when it was created as an item in Intacct.

Units required per kit

The number of individual components required to assemble this kit, as defined when the kit was created as an item in Intacct (in the Kit Components section on the Item information page).

Possible qty

The number of kits that you can create from the items on hand given the selected warehouses. If you select a different range of warehouses, the number of possible units will change.

Quantity needed

The number of kits you need. To specify a number other than 1, on the Report settings page, select one Kit ID and enter a value in the Quantity needed field. This column also displays the quantities of subkits and components needed to fulfill the quantity needed for the top-level kit.

Quantity on hand

The quantity in stock at the warehouse.

Quantity reserved

The quantity that's on hold to fulfill open sales orders and is yet to be shipped.

Quantity available

The quantity that's available to build kits. (Quantity on hand - Quantity reserved)

Additional units required

The number of components you need to obtain to fulfill the quantity needed for the top-level kit.

Unit cost

For Average, FIFO, and LIFO costed items, display's the item's running average cost. For Standard cost items, displays the item's unit cost based on the report settings, by warehouse and by item.

To include the unit cost on the Kit Analysis report, on the Report settings page, select one Kit ID and then select the Show cost option checkbox.

To view how an item's cost is calculated, you can download the Running average cost report from the Inventory utilities page.

Total cost

The calculated cost of the Additional units required based on the Unit cost and the Quantity needed. (Additional units required * Unit cost)
