Sales Kit and Packaging Import
The Sales Kit import loads combo packs and offers — several items sold together under one code and one name. When a kit sells, the stock of its component items moves; the kit itself is a selling construct, not a stocked product.
Where to find it
Go to Setup > Import Export > Sales Kits. Import items first.
Kits exist on the selling side only. You cannot purchase a kit — you buy its components and sell the bundle.
Format Data
| Column | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Kit code | The code the kit is sold under. |
| Kit name | The description shown on sales documents. |
| Category | The item category the kit is filed under. |
| Component item code | An item included in the kit. One row per component. |
| Quantity | How many units of that component the kit contains. |
How a kit behaves on a sale
- The customer sees the kit name and code on the document.
- Stock moves for each component at its own quantity.
- Cost of goods sold is the combined cost of the components.
Errors and exports
If rows fail, the system returns your file with a Memo column added, naming the problem on each bad row — fix those rows and upload again. Every module supports export as well as import, so you can pull current data out in the same format.
The rules common to all imports — never rename headers, dates in Y/m/d, codes must already exist, test a few rows first — are set out in Importing Your Data.
