# Bundle Parts into a Kit
## Group the parts you always use together into a kit you can add to a job as one item.
**For:** Admins and parts staff · **Permission:** Manage Parts · **Time:** ~3 minutes
### Quick summary
1. Open the Parts catalog and click **+ Kit**.
2. Enter a **Name** between 3 and 50 characters. Pick a category if you want one.
3. Search for each component part, click it, and set its **Qty**.
4. Choose how to price it: part by part (default) or **Price this kit as a whole**.
5. Click **Create kit**.
### Before you start
- **You'll need:** The **Manage Parts** permission.
- **Components first:** Each component must already be in your catalog. See [Add New Parts to Your Inventory](https://support.metafleet.ai/add-new-parts-to-your-inventory?hsLang=en).
- **Good to know:** A kit is a part that holds a list of components. It shows a **KIT** tag in the catalog.
### Open the Parts catalog
Click **Parts** in the navigation. The catalog opens under **Parts & Inventory**.
### Start a new kit
Click **+ Kit**, next to **+ Part** in the page header. The **Create kit** window opens.
### Name the kit
Type a **Name** between 3 and 50 characters, for example *Brake Job Kit*. Leave **SKU** blank and MetaFleet generates one, for example *KIT-014495110551*. It is also the kit's part number. **Category** is optional.
### Add the components
In **Add component (search)**, type a part name or part number, then click the part to add it. Set its **Qty**. Repeat for each component. A kit needs at least one component.
### Choose how the kit is priced
Once the kit has a component, a **Price this kit as a whole** switch appears. Pick one:
- **Off (default):** Each component is priced on its own, at its cost plus your markup. The note under the switch shows what the parts cost together.
- **On:** Type a **Kit cost**. Estimates show one line for the kit at that cost plus your markup, and its parts are listed as *Included in kit*. You can't create the kit until you enter a cost above $0 (or switch back off).
*Two components with the switch on. The note shows what the parts would cost priced part by part ($290.00).*
### Click **Create kit**
Save the kit. It appears in the catalog with a **KIT** tag. Open it to see the **Kit components** card, which lists each component with its quantity and price.
The **SOFT KIT** label means this part is a kit: a list of component parts that expands when you add it to a job (see the note below).
> **Kits explode on the invoice.** When you add a kit on an order's **Add Parts** window, a notice reads *This is a kit — adding it will create N component lines on the invoice.* The kit's quantity multiplies each component. If the kit is priced part by part, each component line is priced on its own. If it is priced as a whole, the notice reads *This kit is priced as a whole — it adds one kit line, with its N parts listed as "Included in kit".* An order draws stock from the component lines, not from the kit.
### Edit a kit
Open the kit from the catalog and click **+ Add component** on the **Kit components** card. The Edit Part window opens. There you can add or remove components and change their quantities. The window also has the **Price this kit as a whole** switch, showing the kit's current setting. Kits created before Oct 15, 2026 are priced part by part. With the switch on, the kit's **Price** field is its cost. To turn a regular part into a kit, turn on **This part is a kit**.
> **Turning a kit off.** If you turn off **This part is a kit** on a kit that still has components, MetaFleet shows **Remove all kit components?** and asks you to confirm.
### Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
| --- | --- | --- |
| A part isn't in the component search | It isn't in the catalog yet | Add it first (see [Add New Parts to Your Inventory](https://support.metafleet.ai/add-new-parts-to-your-inventory?hsLang=en)), then add it to the kit. |
| The kit's price looks off | The kit is priced part by part, or as a whole, and you expected the other | Open the kit's Edit Part window and check the **Price this kit as a whole** switch. If it is off, check each component's cost and your markup (see [Parts Pricing & Markup](https://support.metafleet.ai/parts-pricing-and-markup?hsLang=en)). |
| An order shows several lines for one kit | A kit priced part by part expands into one line per component | That's expected. To show one kit line instead, turn on **Price this kit as a whole** and enter a kit cost. |
### FAQs
**Can I change a kit's components later?**
Yes. Open the kit, click **+ Add component** on the **Kit components** card, and change any component or quantity in the Edit Part window.
**How is a kit priced?**
It depends on the **Price this kit as a whole** switch. Off (the default), each component is priced on its own using your markup matrix, and the rolled-up cost is for reference. On, the kit has its own **Kit cost** plus markup, and its components show *Included in kit*.
