each “set” has one SKU but this set is made up of several components with multiple “child” SKU’s
Example -
Outdoor 6 seat dining set with parasol and base - SKU = 654789
When this order comes through the warehouse can not see which components this set is made up of -
654789 consists of -
6 x Chairs - 456
1 x Dining Table - 123
1 x Parasol - 357
1 x Base - 951
I have found an app that allows me to manage the inventory of the “child” components but it does not show the break down on the order or picking list for the warehouse.
Hey @Duxburys in Shopify this might be treated as a bundle, in the supply chain world, this would be called kitting. Kitting is the process of creating one product from multiple SKUs.
There may be some simple apps to help you here, such as Bundle Kit (not affiliated) but these may not offer you the full breadth of what you are looking for.
For a complete system to handle this semi-complex challenge you can check out SKUSavvy which is a full Shopify WMS that will manage the entire warehouse, inventory control, pick-pack-ship, transfers, and beyond. Here’s a longer features list:
Create bin locations on a visual warehouse layout tool
Place purchases and check-in product as it arrives then allocate product to bin locations
Add as many employee accounts as needed with task-based permissions
Pull in orders from stores to have one place to manage all orders
Batch orders for picking to pick through many orders at once (or handle them one by one)
Visually see the location of each item to pick
Barcode scanning across items, bins, batches, shipping labels
Sync inventory quantities directly with Shopify
Create kits and assemble kits according to orders for the kit
Cross-dock inventory between locations
Automate product updates, inventory, customers, orders, etc. between Shopify
Connect your carrier accounts to get live shipping rates on demand, purchase and print all-in-one
For your kitting challenge, we deal with kits in the system to help you keep track of kits and the creation of those kits all in it’s own workflow within the app.
It would be great to get on a call to discuss your unique needs, we have on occasion also worked with companies to add in specific functionality to match the exact needs you face.
