A.  When the kitting records are created via the “Pull Kit” option, they are established from the BOM, by work center and items. If subsequent to a pull item, the user makes a change to the BOM for the product, and then updates the work order, the following events happen:

If the change to the BOM involves the deletion of a part from one work center of the BOM and addition of the part to another work center of the BOM, these count as deletions and additions. Of course, normal deletions may also occur, as well as quantity changes. When the update is performed on a work order, the system checks to see if parts have been issued which are no longer needed. If there are parts in this situation, then the user is asked whether the parts are to be returned to inventory, or have been (or are to be) consumed in the work order. If the user responds with a yes – consume the parts, then the parts are deleted from the kit record (not the issue records and transaction records). They will no longer show up as parts required by the work order. They will show up on the kit history list as being issued to the work order.

The part that has been moved to a new work order is considered as new part requirement. The program cannot distinguish that the part was already issued albeit for another work center. So the part will show up again as needing to be kitted. If the user has fully kitted a work order, then changes the BOM, then updates the work order from the BOM, but does not return extra parts to stock, the effect will be a requirement to reissue those parts for the new work center, and scrap the ones already issued. The user will probably issue the parts (again) to fill the new shortages.
