Can a kit (part) be received to its individual component parts?
Example:
Supplier 1234 sells part WIGETKIT containing parts:
2 - WKP1
4 - WKP2
1 - WKP3
What, if any exists, is the setup to accomplish the receipt of 10 WIGETKIT and the system will update the WKP1-3 with their respective received quantities?
This is a pretty common question. Iām pretty sure Iāve even posted it at some point.
Are you listening, Epicor? 
But is there an (or no) solution for this then?
There is no āgoodā solution in my opinion. Itās all just workarounds. There are some suggested in that post I linked. That was posted just within the last day or 2.
So, on my own here possibly to tweak the receipt entry screen to offer a choice to receive the kit as is or as its component parts if possible?
Unless anyone has a better idea ?
I like your idea. Some questions that I would have isā¦
If the PO is written as a kit, how do you receive something other than what was on the PO?
How do you break up the cost?
There are transactions that are going to be made based on this. What do they look like?
Iām asking because I just made that post a few days ago and my only solution thus far was to manually create a job with co-parts that consumes the kit and generates the sub-components as co-parts. Iāve never messed with co-parts before so Iām not even sure how viable it is.
Donāt know yet just spitballing my first idea (usually a simple one) as for your points/questions, not sure yet, but thank you for thinking through gotchas on my idea 
If you think of any others, please let me know, I have only been asked this question about 45 min ago, so this was as I said the first idea that came to my mind.
I think I did the exact same thing!! I was asked the question, and searched it on hereā¦ saw that others had also asked it but never found a solution
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Iād say we have ourselves a fine opportunity here!
Yes, weāve discussed this since Vantage 8. An Epicor Idea is out in for it and it only has 6 votes remarkably.

** Fixed: Transposed the numbers and @andrew.johnson as kind enough to let me know!
and potentially
Iām not sure how you are generating the PO, but you could hit the problem at both ends with a BPM.
When PO is generated, capture request, break kit apart into individual component lines.
Add a notation that it will be received as a kit.
When Receiving it, customize it so you can receive a kit, and have a bpm break it up for receipt
to individual parts.
Be nice if it was built in.
Iād think the desired solution would mirror a Sales Kit.
When you enter a SK on an order, it actually generates hidden lines for each component. Settings (per each SK) allow for expanding those lines out during shipping and/or invoicing.
A PO Kit (POK) entered on a PO line would create hidden lines for the components. During receipt there could be an option to automatically breakup the POK so the individual components (and hence their hidden PO lines) would be received. Alternately the POK could be required to go through a process (like inspection) that someone actually separates the POK into components.
What happens if you try to enter an SK part# on a PO? And what about RMAās? How do they handle returns of SKās?
I have never tried thisā¦ and one day itās going to happen. I should probably figure it out
They donāt.
Iāve always wanted to see a Disassembly Job. You issue an assembly to the job (STK-MTL, INS-MTL, etc.) and then move the individual components to the regular demand types (MTL-STK - Stock, MTL-MTL - Job, or MTL-CUS - Customer).
During the āGet Detailsā phase, the operator could get the components from a Method or a Job. The user should also have the option to alter the quantities since some parts may not be salvaged (glues, seals, etc.) It should work with purchased items too, as long as there is a BOM.
