A Plant Kit in Coins Plant Control is a pre-defined bundle of plant, charge, or stock components that are hired out together as a single line item, rather than entered individually. Each component takes its rate from its own source: assets take their hire rate from the plant group (unless overridden by an item-level or agreement rate), and stock items use their stock sale price. Rates can also be entered manually at the kit level.
