# Configure and add kits

Kits contain items that are only sold together as one item; the items in kits are not sold separately. Kits are different from assembly items. This topic describes all steps required to set up kits in RMH.

## Configure store rules for kits

There are two ways to determine the cost of kits: you can manually calculate and enter the cost of kits when you create the kit, or you can enable RMH to automatically calculate the cost of kits based on the items included in the kit. This procedure describes how to enable RMH to automatically calculate the cost of kits.

1. Click **File** | **Configuration**.
2. Click **Store Rules**.
3. Expand **Item Options**.
4. Select **Calculate cost of kits**.
5. Click **Save And Close**.

## Configure ordering options for kits

This procedure only applies if kits are built in store using store inventory.

{% hint style="info" %}
If the store orders prebuilt kits from suppliers, e.g., first aid kits or tool kits, you would add the prebuilt kits as a standard items and reorder them based on the **Reorder Point** and **Restock Level** values defined for the item.
{% endhint %}

1. Click **Setup**.
2. Expand **Inventory/Purchasing**.
3. Click **Order Setting**.
4. On the **Global Option** tab, select **Kit Reorder** to consider kit item quantities when reordering kits.
5. Click **Save And Close**.

## Add kits

{% hint style="info" %}
You must add all kit items to the store database before you can create a kit.
{% endhint %}

1. Click **Merchandising**.
2. Click **Items**.
3. Click **New**.
4. Select **Standard** Item and click **OK**.
5. On the **General** tab:
   1. For the **Item Lookup Code**, enter a unique lookup code for the kit.
   2. From **Item type**, select **Kit**.
   3. Select a **Department** and **Category**.
   4. Enter other fields, as required.
6. On the **Kit** tab:
   1. Under **Manage Kits**, click **New**.
   2. (Optional) Click on a column header, click in the **Find** field, and enter a search term for the item.
   3. Double-click the item, or select the item you want to add to the kit and click **OK**.
   4. Continue adding items until all required items are included in the kit.
   5. In the **Quantity** column, enter the quantity of each item that should be included in the kit.
   6. Click **Build**.
   7. In the **Kit** dialog, enter the number of kits to build and click **OK**.

{% hint style="info" %}
The number of kits to build becomes the **On hand** quantity of the kit on the **Inventory** tab. (Correspondingly, the **On hand** quantities of items included in the kit are decreased based on the quantity of items included in the kit and the number of kits to build.) If the **Calculate cost of kits** store rule was selected, RMH automatically calculates the cost of the kit based on the items included in the kit and updates the **Cost** fields on the **General** and **Pricing** tabs.
{% endhint %}

7. Click **Save And Close**.

## Break kits

If you want to reduce the number of kits you have in stock, you should not manually change the **On hand** quantity of the kit on the **Inventory** tab. Instead, you should break the kit. When you break a kit, the **On hand** quantity of the kit is decreased and the **On hand** quantities of the items included in the kit are increased.

1. Click **Merchandising**.
2. Click **Items**.
3. (Optional) Click on a column header, click in the **Find** field, and enter a search term for the kit.
4. Double-click the kit that you want to break.
5. Click on the **Kit** tab.
6. Under **Manage Kits**, click **Breakout**.
7. In the **Kit** dialog, enter the number of kits to breakout and click **OK**.
8. Click **Save And Close**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.rmhpos.com/store-manager/manage-items/kits-and-assembly-items/setting-up-kits.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
