Kit Assembly Work Orders

Overview

Kit Assembly is the process of transferring quantities from individual components to a Kit Parent Product.

With Sellercloud, you can create and print out kit assembly work orders that give your Skustack users the lists required to assemble kits in your warehouse. Each work order shows the total required, picked, and assembled quantities. You can also manage all your assembly work orders by editing, closing, or deleting them from the list.

If you don’t use Skustack, you can still take advantage of this feature. For example:

• You want to create an FBA Inbound Shipment with kits. Add a kit assembly work order to streamline the manual kit assembly. Note that auto-assembly requires the Client Setting Auto Assemble Kit when adding to FBA Shipments.
• You receive a Purchase Order with an Independent kit. Give the printed work order instructions to your warehouse team so they can assemble the kit. Note that All Components kits do not require assembly.
