How to add lot and serial numbers to new kit orders that have components with lot and serial numbers?

I have created a new Kit with components that have lot and serial numbers. If I were to add a single item with lot/serial numbers to the order, I would get a prompt to select the lot/serials when I change the quantity ordered from zero to one. When I add the kit and do this, I get an error. Is there a way to specify the serial and lot numbers for current/future kit orders? Otherwise is there a setting that may allow you to manually set the serial or lot numbers for the component items?
