Service Kits groups the exact spares for recurring jobs. Combine several kits into one pick list, catch shared-stock shortages and work through a temporary packing checklist. HOW TO USE THE UPGRADE 1. Open Today → Service Kits. Create a named job, add instructions and choose spare records with whole-unit quantities. 2. Select one or more kits. Review combined requirements, on-hand stock, missing records and shortages. 3. Tick items as you pack. This checklist does not deduct stock or log a replacement. 4. Export all kits as JSON. Import with a preview and confirmation; when moving devices, restore the matching inventory backup so spare identifiers agree. Keep the parts library, label and barcode comparison, supply-run planning, Bin Cover, replacement history, reminders and inventory backup tools. WHAT TO KNOW Up to 100 kits, 100 lines per kit and 4 MB in the kit file. Shared items are aggregated before stock comparison. Known shortfall costs exclude missing or nonpositive prices, which are counted separately. Kit export contains definitions and notes, not the inventory database; the existing spare backup is separate. Packing checks last for the current visit. iPhone and iPad. No account required.
