Assembly and kitting

A distributor builds a kit from stocked components. Warehouse Manager selects the effective bill of materials, routing, output product and standard cost, then approves a work order for a positive planned quantity. Warehouse Operator records actual component use and operation results. Completion moves bounded output into stock while retaining scrap and cost evidence.

• Effective recipe. Warehouse Manager selects the active bill, routing, output product and standard cost for the planned work order.
• Actual operations. Warehouse Operator records good output, scrap and labor at each operation without treating intermediate throughput as final stock.
• Completion and cost. Accepted terminal output posts once; remaining work and variance stay visible for closing review.

Agree the output unit, component loss allowance, operation sequence and release authority. Confirm the effective recipe before releasing a work order. Assign a separate reviewer to the release and close decisions if the same Warehouse Manager prepared the order. Keep the frozen component basis with the released revision.

For a kit order, reserve the components needed for planned output and record a partial terminal completion. Compare actual good quantity, scrap and material use with the frozen recipe. Do not sum every operation count into finished inventory. If residual work-in-progress cost remains, have the reviewer decide its disposition before closing.

A released work order should answer which components were planned, which quantities were issued and which operation produced terminal output. Warehouse Operator records any returned material against the same work basis. If a component is short, Warehouse Manager can hold the unfinished quantity while preserving the part already completed. Cost review compares actual material and labor with the standard chosen at release. A replacement recipe applies through its own effective version; it does not revise the completed kit. The closing decision should show whether residual material or cost was resolved, rather than rely on a completed status alone.

• Assembly schedule — Released and active work with planned start and end dates.
• Available stock — Component positions to check before material issue.

Follow kit release to close from effective recipe to variance decision. Use the data model to connect work orders, operation logs and terminal completion; check roles for independent approval.
