There are several use cases for kits. If the user had to select at the moment he's introducing the order wether that line is a kit or not, we're forcing him to know that the code the customer has given (for example) is a kit or a product. So I think it's clear that it should not be a different order line type. Regarding the presentation it actually depends. Some companies want to show the details and others do not want that. That is a customization detail, I think. In some cases it could be a small production as you say but in others it is not. Simply those products must be added to the picking. We've had some cases in which the company wanted to have those products exploded but they wanted to be free to remove some of the lines, if necessary. -- Albert Cervera i Areny http://www.NaN-tic.com Tel: +34 93 553 18 03 http://twitter.com/albertnan http://www.nan-tic.com/blog -- tryton-dev@googlegroups.com mailing list
