Status: Closed
Subject: Kit Items cost calculations can result in incorrect values
Summary:    

Kit items are items that have one or more sub items made up of "Purchased/Misc' items from inventory. There is a configuration that allows Kit Item COSTS to be updated via a trigger when a "Kit Component" is added to a Kit.

There are a few issues with this model:

  1. If a location is added after a kit component is added, the location gets a ZERO cost as the trigger is not fired until the kit component is added
  2. Inventory valuation will be incorrect as the kit item itself is a NON STOCK ITEM
  3. Inventory Sales may result in an incorrect item cost for kit items depending on the order in which the kit items were added/edited

To resolve the issue, we are redesigning the Kit items as follows:

  1. Kit items are non-stock items (we will change this in a future release where we allow Kit items to be packaged and sored as "Stock" by increasing the KIT stock and reducing the respective "Purchased" items
  2. Kit items COSTS will be calculated from the Kit Components 
  3. Add/Edit Kit items will prevent users from updating cost fields as we are using component costs
  4. Kit Costs will be a calculated number based on its components
  5. Remove Triggers that are updating Kit Costs
  6. Remove Configuration "AutoUpdateKitCost"
