How the kit price is calculated<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Kit pricing<\/strong> block appears on the record of a kit product.

Display and behavior on the kit record<\/h2>\n<h3>3.1 Context banner in the <em>Pricing information<\/em> block<\/h3>\n<p>An information banner appears at the top of the pricing block:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In <em>Manual entry<\/em> mode: &#8220;Manual entry: neither the sale price nor the purchase price is automatically recalculated from the components.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>In <em>Calculated from components<\/em> mode: &#8220;The sale price and purchase price of this kit are calculated automatically from its components.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3.2 Read-only <em>Unit price<\/em> and <em>Purchase price<\/em> fields + &#8220;Calculated (kit)&#8221; badge<\/h3>\n<p>In <em>Calculated from components<\/em> mode, the <strong>Unit price<\/strong> and <strong>Purchase price<\/strong> fields are displayed as <strong>read-only<\/strong> and accompanied by a <strong>&#8220;Calculated (kit)&#8221;<\/strong> badge. A tooltip specifies: <em>&#8220;This value is calculated automatically from the kit\u2019s components. Switch to Manual entry mode (no recalculation) to enter it.&#8221;<\/em> <\/p>\n<p>The kit\u2019s purchase price directly feeds the margin calculation on quotes, orders, and invoices containing this kit.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Manual entry<\/em> mode, both fields become editable again.<\/p>\n<h3>3.3 Automatic recalculation<\/h3>\n<p>When the mode is <em>Calculated from components<\/em>, the kit\u2019s sale price <strong>and<\/strong> purchase price are recalculated automatically in the following cases:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Adding or removing a component.<\/li>\n<li>Changing a component quantity.<\/li>\n<li>Changing a component\u2019s unit price or purchase price.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<h2>4. Business rules<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p><strong>A kit cannot be a generic product.<\/strong> These two concepts are mutually exclusive. If you try to check <em>Generic product<\/em> on a kit, Kafinea blocks the save with the message: <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>A generic product cannot be a kit.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>A kit cannot be a specific product<\/strong> (attached to a generic). The message displayed is: <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>A specific product cannot be a kit.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>A generic product cannot be added as a component of a kit.<\/strong> The message displayed is:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>A generic product cannot be added as a component of a kit.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>A specific product cannot be added as a component of a kit.<\/strong> The message displayed is:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>A specific product (child of a generic) cannot be added as a component of a kit.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<blockquote class=\"bq-note\">\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> These rules ensure catalog consistency. Kits group &#8220;standard&#8221; products (neither generic nor specific). To manage supplier sourcing, use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kafinea.com\/en\/documentation\/catalog\/generic-products\/\">generic products<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr>\n<h2>5. Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Why can I not check &#8220;Generic product&#8221; on my kit?<\/strong><br \/>\nBecause a kit groups concrete components with defined prices, whereas a generic product is an abstract model whose price is calculated from child specifics. The two price calculation mechanisms are incompatible. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Why are the unit price and purchase price of my kit read-only?<\/strong><br \/>\nBecause the calculation mode is <em>Calculated from components<\/em>. Both values are the sum of the corresponding values of its components. To enter them manually, switch the mode to <em>Manual entry<\/em>.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>My kit price does not update after I modify a component\u2014why?<\/strong><br \/>\nCheck that the calculation mode is <em>Calculated from components<\/em> and not <em>Manual entry<\/em>. In manual mode, neither the sale price nor the purchase price is recalculated automatically. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I nest kits (a kit within a kit)?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes, a component of a kit can itself be a kit. However, automatic recalculation does not cascade: if you modify a component of the sub-kit, the sub-kit price will be recalculated (if it is in <em>Calculated from components<\/em> mode), but the parent kit will not be recalculated automatically. You will need to manually modify the parent kit (for example, by removing and then re-adding the sub-kit) to trigger its recalculation.  <\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>Related references \ud83d\udd17<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kafinea.com\/en\/documentation\/catalog\/products\/\">Products<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kafinea.com\/en\/documentation\/catalog\/generic-products\/\">Generic products<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kafinea.com\/en\/documentation\/catalog\/catalog-margin-analysis\/\">Catalog margin analysis<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udccd Where can I find this module?Main menu &gt; Catalog &gt; Products A kit (or bundle) is a product made up of several sub-products.
