Kitting transactions ​

The Kitting transactions report shows what happened to inventory when kits were built with kit orders: which components were consumed and how many kits were produced. Use it to account for component usage, to see who built what and when, and to reconcile component stock.

Open it from the sidebar: Reporting › Kitting transactions.

Background ​

A kit order turns components into a kit product: the component units are taken from stock and new units of the kit are created. See Kit orders for the process and Kits for how kits and their components are set up.

What is included ​

The report covers kit orders of the account you are working in and its sub-accounts. Each kit order produces two kinds of rows, shown in the Transaction type column:

Transaction typeMeaning
Product ConsumptionComponent units that were used up to build the kit. One row per component product per order line, with the number of units consumed.
Built ItemKit units that were produced. One row per kit product per order line, with the number of kits built.

Only units that were actually built are included; a kit order that has not been built yet does not appear. The report is refreshed every four hours; see How report data is updated.

Filters ​

Every column can be filtered with the operators for its type (see Filters). There are no value lists in this report; type the value. Useful filters:

  • Transaction type is Built Item, to see only production: how many kits were made.
  • Transaction type is Product Consumption, to see only component usage.
  • Transacted at between two dates, for a period's kitting activity.
  • Built by is a user, for the output of one person or team.
  • Product number is a component, to see how many units of that component went into kits.

The report is sorted by Transacted at, newest first. Search looks in all columns, including the reference numbers and user names.

Exporting ​

Use the export button to download the report as CSV. See Exporting.

Typical use ​

  • Kitting invoice or production overview: filter Transaction type is Built Item and Transacted at for the month, export, and total the Quantity per product.
  • Component reconciliation: filter Transaction type is Product Consumption and a Product number, to explain why a component's stock went down.
  • Checking a single kit order: search for the order number to see exactly which components it consumed and how many kits it produced.
  • Productivity: filter on Built by and a date range.
