On Order Entry and Shipment Entry screens, provide a "Check Components" button, to enable the user to check stock of all kit components on all kit masters on the order, to show in a single window. A the moment, the user has to go to every Kit master line, press "Components", then go to every component item line, to see stock.

If they don't do this, and "Ship All", the system can ship an incomplete order. If the customer it set to not allow incomplete orders, the message always appears for kit items, as qty on hand for kit masters is always 0.
