Prebuilt kits work great for gift baskets or chicken salad, since you are going to build the gift basket or make the chicken salad before you put it out for sale.
The components do not get added as line items on the sale to the customer, they get taken out of inventory when the Prebuilt Kit is built. More on this below.
Item Setup:
Note that the FRUITBASKET has an average cost of 4.91. We edit the item and set this to the total of all components.
Ticket Entry: (selling a fruit basket)
Ticket Entry (building FRUITBASKET)
When building the kits, use the Acme Data Miner report titled "Prebuilt Kits and List of Components BC".
Print the report and use the information to enter a write off ticket, to decrement the items from inventory. Store Use or Write Off
If you followed the recipe exactly, scan each bar code on the report use quantity from the report. If you had to modify the recipe at all, adjust accordingly. For example, if you substituted Honeycrisp Apples for the Akanes, do not scan the code for Akanes. Instead look up Honeycrisp and add the proper quantity of them to the ticket.
Do not forget to put the finished goods (the gift baskets or chicken salad) into stock, to do this go into Item setup screen and edit the on hand quantity.
