I found this description of interest from SAP Help
1.2.8.10.2 Kit to Stock in Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP) (New) Use
As of SAP SCM 7.0, the kit-to-stock function is available in distribution requirements planning (DRP).
Up to now, you could only plan the procurement of individual products. As of SAP SCM 7.0, you can also plan the procurement and creation of kits. A kit is a service part that is created out of several other service parts. You define the service parts a kit consists of in a bill of material for the kit in SAP ERP. In SAP SCM, you can decide for each combination of kit and location, whether you want to perform the kitting internally at your BOD location or externally at a subcontractor. When DRP determines demand for a kit, it reads the bill of material of the kit to determine and cover the dependent demands as well.
DRP also takes periods into account in which kit to stock is not possible for certain kits at certain locations. You can decide whether you allow external procurement of the kits during these periods.
