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.

Q: I have used the same Ascora Kit under multiple Groundplan Measurements, why can I only see it once in my Ascora Quote?

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:
