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.

To view, process, memorize, export, or customize the report or add it to the dashboard, select one of the following options:
- View: View the report now, in your browser.
- Print: Display the report now, in printable PDF format.
- Process & store: Generate the report and store it for later access. Reports can be either stored in the My Stored Reports list or delivered to a cloud storage location, such as Dropbox. Learn more about processing and storing reports.
- Add to dashboard: Add the report to your dashboard.
-
Memorize: Memorize (that is, save) the report so that later you can refer back to it or modify and re-run it.
You can schedule memorized reports to run on a recurring basis. Intacct can automatically email the reports or deliver them to a cloud storage location.
- Export: Export the report to a separate file that you can then distribute or save to your local drive. File formats to which you can export the report data vary among reports.
- Customize: After you run the report, return to the main report page and refine the report further.
- Email: After you run the report, email to others.
Some options are only available if you access the report from the Reports center.
You can use trial-and-error to get the precise results you want. Just fill in the desired fields, and select View to see the report. If the results aren't what you want, select Customize to return to the report setup page and refine the report further. Repeat this process until you're satisfied.
For complex financial reports that will be run regularly, save the report after you're done setting it up. The next time you're ready to run the report, you only have to change the As of date before running the report.
Report filters
Use filters to focus the results of your report, to isolate and assemble just the data you want. You can set any combination of filters.
- To show results for a specific kit ID or a range of IDs, use the From kit ID and To kit ID dropdown lists.How to use From and To fields
All From and To field pairs work the same way. Use them to get search results in as broad or as fine a range as necessary—from everything in the system to a single specific object.
To run this report for a single object:
- From the From dropdown list, select the object that you want.
- From the To dropdown list, select the same object.
To run this report for a specific range of objects:
- From the From dropdown list, select the object that you want to begin the range.
- From the To dropdown list, select the object that you want to end the range.
To run this report for all objects:
- Leave both From and To fields blank.
If you have a lot of objects or the report takes too long to process, use the From and To dropdown lists to run a series of smaller reports. For example, you can run 5 reports, one each for objects whose names begin with A-E, then F-J, K-O, P-T, and U-Z.
An object is a catch-all term that refers to any specific data item in the system. Customers, vendors, items, and accounts are all examples of objects.
- To narrow the results to a specific warehouse or a range of warehouses, use the From warehouse and To warehouse dropdown lists. Use these lists if you have the same kit in multiple warehouses. Different warehouses can contain different numbers of the same item. So, depending on which warehouses you select, the number of possible kits in the report will vary.
- The Quantity needed field is useful if you select only one kit ID. Enter the number of kits for which you want to determine component availability.
- The Show cost option checkbox is useful if you select only one kit ID. Select the checkbox to add these 2 columns to the report:
- Unit cost: The per-item cost based on the running average. The running average cost is calculated using the costing method for the item.
- Total cost: The calculated cost of the additional units required based on the unit cost and the quantity needed.
