Parnet Child question

Greetings, I have a parent child issue I hope someone can help me with. I have a cigar store and I would like to open various boxes and create a variety pack. It will be any of the thousands of cigars we have on hand. These variety packs will sell for various amounts. I would also be placing some of the same cigars in different variety packs. The questions are as follows: How to I create a variety pack and have the inventory reduced as they are sold? Will I have to do this manually? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

Use either a kit or an assembly item and add the cigars you want to each individual item. Both will track inventory when you sell them. With a kit, when you enter it at POS, the individual items don't show on the receipt. With assemblies, every item in the assembly is printed on the receipt. Which one you use is just an individual preference thing. I like to use assemblies, but I would bet there are people that prefer kits. Search the help files to learn how to set each up and see what the differences are between the two. As far as parent/child goes, that is really just a way to set up item for reordering in a specific way. When the child item runs out of stock it will open a case of the parent item to refill the childs quantity. The parent item then gets reordered. I don't use parent/child in RMS because it's broken. There is no way to keep a smaller amount of the item in stock because as soon as the child runs out the parent is broken into the child item, and then reordered right away. There's no way to tell the system to wait until the child gets down to a certain level before reordering the parent. For me that means I get way overstocked of the item when I need to break open a new case to refill the child. I use MPQ to reorder items that come in a case, but get sold in each's. It's a lot easier to control your quantity on hand. Craig
