KIT BOM Component Shortage List

jsq201

My client is using the Kitting function on NAV 5.00 and would like to determine the following:

1. How much of each KIT component is needed. The kit may be multi-level BOM.
2. How much of the components needs to either be kitted (pre-assembled) or purchased. (ie some sort of multi-level shortage list for kits)

Seems like what they want is a simple MRP system for Kits. They do not have the budget for the 2 MRP granules, so MRP is not a viable alternative.

Is there a report or function that does this?

There is report 25003 Kit - Availability that you can use.

Does that handle Multi Level BOMs?

nope one level.

Most kits are one level so it should be ok for majority of items. It could be modified for multilevel

I think the cost to modify this for multi-level BOM could be as much as simply going with the out of the box solution.

Just Did something Similiar for a DB where i imported KIT objects.

There are 2 reports in normal NAV without kitting that specifically look at bom Calculations and replinshment
Based off the BOM Journal

Type ID Name Modified Version List Date Time BLOB Size Compiled
3 807 BOM - Requirement Planning No NAVW13.00 01-06-08 12:00:00 37384 Yes
3 808 BOM - Requirement Calculation No NAVW13.00 01-06-08 12:00:00 19836 Yes

I amended them to use KIT bom instead of Bill of materials and it works famirly well.

It maybe be worth you looking at

Yes most Kits are single level, however for this client, they may go down to a second level, and need the ability to quickly disassemble.

Thanks jannestig. Would you mind posting your objects and I can take a look at it?

Much appreciated folks!
