Kit Assembly Work Orders

Overview

Assembling a kit is the process of transferring quantities of a kit component to a kit parent.

With Sellercloud, you can create a kit assembly work order that gives your Skustack users clear “how-to” instructions on manually assembling a kit in your warehouse, which you can print out to a PDF file.

The process of adding a kit assembly work order is easy in Sellercloud!

  1. Add the products manually or upload them through a bulk-import.
  2. Choose the warehouse.
  3. Pick a date and time for completion.

You can also quickly manage all your assembly work orders by editing, closing, or deleting them right from the list.

Even if you are not a Skustack user, you can take advantage of this convenient feature in a couple of ways:

A) You want to create an FBA inbound shipment with kits. Simply add a new a kit assembly work order to auto-assemble the kit components in Sellercloud, so your warehouse team can pick them in order to proceed with the shipment process.
Note: Kit auto-assembly requires the Client Setting Auto Assemble Kit when adding to FBA Shipments.

B) You receive an Independent kit on a purchase order. Just give the printed work order instructions to your warehouse team so they can quickly assemble the kit in an accurate manner.
Note: All Components’ kits do not require assembly.
