Σύντομη απάντηση
Combining several individual products into a single set (kit) with its own SKU, before or at order time.
Βασικά συμπεράσματα
- Static kitting - kits are pre-assembled and stored as a new SKU
- Dynamic kitting - the kit is assembled at order time (no pre-made stock)
What kitting is
Kitting is the process of combining several individual SKUs into a set (kit) sold as one product with its own SKU. De-kitting is the reverse: breaking a set into components.
Types
- Static kitting - kits are pre-assembled and stored as a new SKU
- Dynamic kitting - the kit is assembled at order time (no pre-made stock)
Why stock management matters
The challenge of kitting is stock: components and the finished kit 'compete' for the same physical stock. Without a system linking the BOM (component list) to availability, false stock promises arise.
How CRMconnect helps
CRMconnect WMS + OMS manages kits by BOM: it computes kit availability from components in real time, generates assembly tasks and keeps stock correct for both components and kits.
Πραγματικό παράδειγμα
A gift retailer sold manually assembled sets with frequent stock errors. With dynamic kitting in CRMconnect, set availability is computed from components in real time, and assembly triggers on order - zero stock over-promises.

Συχνές ερωτήσεις
Difference between static and dynamic kitting?+
Static: kits are pre-assembled and stored as a separate SKU. Dynamic: the kit is assembled on order from components. Dynamic avoids locked stock but needs real-time availability calculation.
What is a BOM in kitting?+
Bill of Materials - the list of components making up a kit. The system uses it to compute how many kits can be made from available component stock.
How do I avoid stock over-promising on kits?+
With a system that ties kit availability to real component stock and reserves components at order confirmation, not after.
