See the following video to learn more about value-added services in the warehouse:Kitting
A kit describes a piece list that is always delivered in a complete and assembled form. The individual components of the kit are picked and before posting the goods issue, a new product is assembled in the warehouse.
Kitting can be done in different ways:
A kit-to-order process means that the reason for kitting is a sales order for the kit header product. The components are picked, the kit header product is created, and goods issue is posted for the header product and the kit components.
This process can be modeled with or without a VAS-order; the header product can be "created" at a work center or automatically in the background.
Kit-to-stock means that the components are picked and brought to a special work center in the warehouse from where the goods issue for the components is posted. Then, the kit header product is created and a goods receipt is posted for this header product. Finally, the header product is putaway in the warehouse again.
This process always requires a VAS-order and a work center. The process can be started directly in SAP EWM by the creation of this VAS-order. It can also be triggered through the creation of a production order in the SAP S/4HANA system.
