Add Static Kit

A kit is a group of items that are sold together. There are two kinds of kits:

1. Dynamic: Dynamic kits are a great sales tool, and ideal for selling groups of items with many options, for example, pool, spas or stoves. Dynamic kits are a list of questions that ensure the sales staff asks the right questions, offers the correct accessories and options, and completes the order. For example, if you sell a spa (model X) that comes in different colors, the questions might be: What color of Model X Spa do you want? What color of cover do you want?
2. Static: The items in a static kit never change. For example, if you sell an item as individual units and as a case, you can set up the inventory item to use Each as the units of measure (Inventory > Open an item > Profile tab > Sell Unit of Measure field), and then create a static kit of the inventory item with a quantity of 12 to sell a case. Static kits can also be used in dynamic kits.
