Retailers don't sell retail kits, they buy them and transfer them, and then explode them when they get to the stores. This is done because the vendor gives special purchasing when buying as a kit, and the kit is delivered as a shrink wrapped pallet making "cross docking" easier for the components. Master planning doesn't consider the components of an inbound kit as inbound inventory for a store, which can cause duplicate ordering. The ask is a feature/parameter to enable master planning to consider the components of a retail kit as "Ordered" inventory if the kit is ordered.
