FAQs
Q: Can I create Ascora Kits within Groundplan?
A: No. Having multiple Inventory Supply Items as Parts will not create a Kit in Ascora. They will push to Ascora as single Inventory Supply Items. Kits must be built in Ascora.

A: They have Grouped together. The same Inventory Supply and/or Kit appearing under multiple Measurements in the same Stage will Group together on the Ascora tab and when pushing to a Quote.
For example: Using a commercial downlight kit (including cable and labour allowance) under two Measurements in the same Stage will Group together:
