# Inventory Kits

> Bundling items into kits that can be quoted and scanned as a single unit.

A kit is a saved bundle of inventory items priced as one unit. Instead of adding 8 line items every time you quote a "Camera Kit A", you add the kit once and JingjaiOps expands the components automatically.

## Why use kits

Use kits for any combination of equipment you regularly rent together:

* A **Camera Kit** with body, lens, batteries, charger, and case
* A **Lighting Kit** with key/fill/back lights, stands, and modifiers
* An **Audio Kit** with mics, recorder, cables, and case

Benefits:

* One line item on the quote instead of 8–10
* One price for the customer rather than itemized
* All components automatically reserved for the same dates
* Pick & Scan expands the kit so nothing gets forgotten
* Return inspection tracks each component's condition individually

## Creating a kit

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Inventory module">
    Switch to the **Kits** tab at the top.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click 'New Kit'">
    A form opens.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the kit name">
    Bilingual name (English and Thai). What customers see on PDFs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the kit rate and rate type">
    The total rate for the entire kit, and Daily/Weekly/Monthly. This replaces individual component rates when quoted.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add components">
    Search inventory and add each item. Set quantity per kit (e.g., 2× battery).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    The kit becomes available in quotes and Pick & Scan.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Adding items to a kit

In the kit edit screen, the components panel shows each item you've added:

| Component          | Quantity per kit |
| ------------------ | ---------------- |
| Sony FX6           | 1                |
| 24-70mm f/2.8 Lens | 1                |
| V-Mount Battery    | 2                |
| Battery Charger    | 1                |
| Hard Case          | 1                |

To add more components, click **+ Add Component**, search inventory, and pick. To remove, click the X next to a row.

A kit must have at least one component to be saved.

## Using kits in quotes

In the quote form, click **+ Add Line Item → Add Kit**. Pick the kit. The line is added with:

* Kit name as description
* Quantity (defaulting to 1)
* Kit rate
* Duration matching the quote dates

If you set quantity to 2, JingjaiOps reserves 2× every component (so 2 cameras, 2 lenses, 4 batteries, etc.).

The customer sees the kit on the PDF as a single line. The components are not itemized externally — they're internal to your inventory tracking.

## Kit scanning in jobs

At Pick & Scan time, the kit expands automatically. The crew sees:

```
Camera Kit A (1 of 1)
  ├── Sony FX6 — needs 1
  ├── 24-70mm Lens — needs 1
  ├── V-Mount Battery — needs 2
  ├── Battery Charger — needs 1
  └── Hard Case — needs 1
```

Each component must be scanned individually. The kit is only marked picked when every component has a scanned asset ID assigned.

This catches missing pieces early. Many rental businesses lose 5–10% of accessory revenue to forgotten components — kits eliminate that.

## Kit availability

A kit is available if **every component** is available for the requested dates. If even one component is unavailable, the kit shows as unavailable, with a tooltip telling you which component is the bottleneck.

This is why you sometimes need spare components — to keep kits available when one camera is in maintenance, you need a backup body that can complete the kit.

## Updating a kit

If you change a kit's components or rate:

* **Future quotes** use the new components and rate.
* **Existing quotes** keep the components and rate they had at quote time. You can refresh a quote manually if you want it to reflect the new kit.
* **Active jobs** are not affected — they continue with their original component list.

This is by design — once a customer has agreed on a quote, the contract is fixed.

## Archiving a kit

To retire a kit (you no longer rent that combination):

1. Open the kit.
2. Click **•••** → **Archive Kit**.
3. The kit no longer appears in new quotes but remains visible in past quotes and jobs.

Archive instead of delete — past quote PDFs and reports still need to reference it.

<Tip>
  When designing kits, name them clearly enough that customers understand what they're getting. "Standard Camera Kit" beats "Kit A". Add a descriptive note to the kit's customer-facing description if needed.
