Item Kits are a useful way to bundle multiple items/services together into one Kit, so when the Kit is ordered on an invoice, all items/services that are part of that Kit will be generated on the invoice all at once.
How to make Item Kits in Hippo Manager:
- Go to the Management tab.
- Click on the Item Kits widget.
- Click New Item Kit in the top right corner.
- Type a name in the Item Kit Name field.
- (Optional) Add a description in the Item Kit Description field.
- Begin typing the name of an Item/Service you would like to add in the Add Item field.
- Click on the appropriate item/service from the list of matching results that will appear. You can edit/change the quantity as needed to put the needed quantity on the invoice.
- Repeat steps 6 & 7 for as many items as you would like.
- Click Submit in the bottom right of the window.
How to use Item Kits:
- Go to the Checkout screen or use the Open Invoices widget to access an open invoice.
- Begin typing the Item Kit Name in the Find/Scan Item field.
- The Item Kit will appear in the list of matching results with the word KIT in front of the name it was given. Click on it.
- All items that you added to the kit will be added to the invoice at once. Individual items/services can still be edited/deleted as needed.
Helpful Hint:
Item Kits can be especially useful when you need to generate an estimate for a procedure that needs to have several items invoiced together - saving you time ordering one kit instead of several items that always need to go together.
