Kits are used when you want a single line item to appear on the customer's invoice, while that item is actually composed of multiple components that you want to track individually. This is commonly used in the USA, where different components may be taxed differently, but you still want to present a unified line item on the invoice.
Other names for Kits: Bundles, Parent/Child Products.
Note in Datagate Terminology, "Bundles" relates to Usage (typically phone calls, but also data, SMS etc).
