Hi Stephen_V;

 This is the correct way to disassemble a kitted item in inventory.  By calling the kitted item up to the screen, click on the receive icon, and entering a negative amount into the receive qty and then clicking on the received button.  This should give the message Do you wish to disassemble this kitted item? and you click on Yes.

If you are not getting this message please make sure you have rights in the inventory module to receive inventory and to modify inventory.  To check rights of a user , you must be logged in as a level 9 users.  Click Utilities, System Manager, User details.  Select the user in questions, click access, inventory and options.

Hey, Penny.  

I checked the settings, and all of the rights are set to YES.  Level 9 user.  I expected a dis assembly message of some sorts, given the logic.  But, with all the rights allowed, I'm still getting the message:

"The trial build quantity cannot be negative or zero.  Please enter a positive trial build quantity to proceed"

It almost feels like a bug, from previous versions of Business Vision.  

Where do I go from here?

Penny, oops!  All I had to do was simply receive the -2 units.  I just clicked Trial Build out of habit.  

Thanks, for your help.  this works great!  

Np  problem Stephen_V,  I'm glad it worked.

The correct logic would have been to "commit" the KIT components until the item was actually invoiced in order entry. This would have allowed a much easier method to de-commit kit components. I can understand automatically removing components in POS but NOT in OE.

BV Essentials commits KITS until invoiced this and it works great.
