How it Works
Design assemblies have a related BIM or spool file from an external software like Revit that provides an exact material list. The list of material is static for each prefab item “assembly”. We use the word assembly here but could be any level a parent item being tied to a list of material.
Setup
No setup needed. Included as part of Kojo Prefab.
Tying a List of Material to a Prefab Item
Browse to the prefab item
Click on Assembly Materials
Then you can manually search and add items individually or bulk upload a list of materials
If bulk uploading the source will be set as “As Entered”
Creating Prefab Requests
Shop managers can create prefab requests. This is helpful if you schedule work to be done with the field. This way the shop can create prefab requests to be used as “work orders”.
Go to the items and click manage item
Then click “Create Prefab Request”
Sourcing Material tied to Prefab Items
After material is tied to a prefab item, when the prefab item is requested it will automatically add the material in the same requisition as the prefab item. It will preserve whatever source you set like a normal requisition in Kojo so items to be purchased will go to that bucket and items from inventory will go to that bucket.
Sourcing & Picking Inventory Items
When you choose item’s from your warehouse inventory, it will automatically create a pick ticket your material inventory location to grab those items for the shop. For both web and mobile, the prefab item associated with it will be listed underneath the WHREQ and the PFREQ is listed on the detail page of the WHREQ.
Receiving Material without Kojo’s Material Inventory Module
If you only have Kojo Prefab turned on, you will be able to create a delivery receipt for POs received but not have any of the functionality of Material Inventory.
Not Supported
Creating an automated list of material from a selection. This will be coming soon!
If an inventory item is used for material on the prefab item and it has more than one inventory location, then the item will be sent to the “purchasing” bucket on the requisition.
