Kit parent in stock is not components

How to run thisStock / inventory3 steps
CalculatorKit component shortfall · Calculator lives in the articleOpen

ShipMonk-class kits ship only when every component is pickable. CRM can show the parent in stock while one component is short — ads keep buying a stockout. Type parent demand and shorted component units.

Pair: Kit component shortfall on Stock. Cover window: days of cover. Dock: receiving is not sellable. Ads ship-from: ads ship-from cover.

What you type

Parent demand — kit units you needed to ship in the window.

Shorted component units — kit units you could not build because a BOM line was short (count at parent units, not raw component pieces).

Fillable = max(0, demand − shorted). Shortfall share = shorted ÷ demand. Kill parent ads when shortfall is the problem — do not invent a fill %.

What not to do

Do not treat parent on-hand as kit-ready. Do not invent a kit fill rate. Do not count raw component pieces as parent units. Do not leave the parent buyable when a BOM line is short.

Related: Stock, days of cover, receiving is not sellable, stockout vs ad spend.

Procedure

  1. Type parent kit demand for the window.
  2. Type kits blocked by a short BOM line.
  3. Kill parent ads when shortfall is the problem.

Failure modes

  • Treating parent on-hand as kit-ready.
  • Inventing a kit fill rate.
  • Counting raw component pieces as parent units.

FAQ

Is this days of cover?
Related cover math. [Days of cover](/manuals/days-of-cover) is units ÷ daily demand. This page is kit BOM shortfall on the parent.
Is this receiving not sellable?
No. [Receiving is not sellable](/manuals/receiving-not-sellable) is dock status. This page is component shortage vs kit demand.
What fill rate should I use?
You type the units. We invent no fill chip.
