Short answer

CSI is Infor CloudSuite Industrial, the current name of SyteLine, so a CSI warning is a non-blocking message from the application that tells you something is questionable but lets you continue. We cannot confirm a documented public meaning for an object named csi_kit_live_kit, so the dependable method is to locate it in your own database, read its definition and check how kits are configured.

Applies to: Infor SyteLine / CloudSuite Industrial on SQL Server. Object names are specific to your version and any custom or bundled extensions.

Investigate a kit-related warning or object

  1. 1Read the exact warning text in the message bar or the error log, and note the form you were on.
  2. 2Search SQL Server for the object: SELECT name, type_desc FROM sys.objects WHERE name LIKE '%kit%live%'.
  3. 3If it is a procedure or view, read it with sp_helptext 'objectname', or script it in SQL Server Management Studio.
  4. 4Check where it is called from: search the Mongoose configuration (forms, IDO methods, event handlers) and your custom code for the name.
  5. 5Check the kit item setup: the item is flagged as a kit, its components exist and are active, and the quantities and UMs are valid.
  6. 6Test the same action with a simple kit item to see if the warning depends on the data.
  7. 7Check recent customisations, upgrades and custom stored procedures that may have introduced or changed the object.
  8. 8If it remains unexplained, open a case with Infor support and attach the message text, the object definition and the steps to reproduce.

What a CSI warning is

SyteLine messages come in grades. Errors stop the action, while warnings and informational messages let the user continue. A warning on a kit usually concerns data that is allowed but suspicious, such as a component with no stock or a quantity of zero.

The message text, not the object name, is the best search term for Infor documentation and community posts.

How kits work in general

A kit in SyteLine is an item that is sold or issued as a parent made of component items. Depending on setup, the components can be reserved, picked and shipped with the parent, and the parent's availability depends on the components.

A live kit view or procedure of the kind your question names would typically report or compute that component availability in real time. Treat that as an inference to verify in your own database, not as documented behaviour.

Why the object may not be documented

SyteLine ships many internal procedures, views and functions that Infor does not document. Others come from add-ons, partner extensions or your own customisations, and names prefixed with a company or product code are common.

Never modify an Infor-delivered object directly. Changes belong in your own extension layer so an upgrade does not overwrite them.

SELECT name, type_desc, create_date, modify_date
FROM sys.objects
WHERE name LIKE '%kit%'
ORDER BY modify_date DESC;

EXEC sp_helptext 'dbo.YourObjectName';

Troubleshooting data, not code

Most kit warnings clear when the data is fixed: add the missing component, fix the quantity or unit of measure, activate the item, or correct the warehouse. Check the data before changing any code.

If the warning appears only for a specific item or customer order, compare it with a working kit. The difference is usually in the setup.

Common pitfalls

  • !Editing a delivered stored procedure or view and losing the change in the next upgrade.
  • !Treating a warning as an error and reworking data that is acceptable.
  • !Assuming an object name proves what it does; read its definition.
  • !Ignoring the exact message text when searching for help.
  • !Testing kit changes in production rather than a test database.

How an ERP-grounded AI assistant handles this

SyteRay can search a SyteLine database for an unfamiliar object, read its definition and the forms and IDOs that reference it, and explain what it does in plain language, all against your own schema and on-prem if needed. That is faster than guessing from the name, and it states clearly what it could and could not verify.

Frequently asked questions

What is a CSI warning?

CSI stands for CloudSuite Industrial, the current name of SyteLine. A CSI warning is a non-blocking message from the application: it flags something questionable but lets you continue.

What is csi_kit_live_kit?

We cannot confirm a documented public definition. Find it in sys.objects in your own database, read its definition with sp_helptext and check what calls it. The name suggests kit availability logic, but verify that.

How do I find where a SQL object is used?

Search procedure and view definitions with sys.sql_modules for the name, and search the Mongoose forms, IDOs and event handlers. Include custom code and scheduled jobs.

Should I edit the object to remove the warning?

No. Fix the data causing it or add your own extension. Direct edits to delivered objects are lost at upgrade and may break support.

SyteLine error -30006: how to find the real cause

The number in a SyteLine error such as -30006 is a wrapper code. The useful information is the text after it and the underlying exception from the app server or SQL Server. There is no dependable public catalog of these numbers, so the reliable fix is a repeatable method for reading the message, reproducing it and checking the server side.

How-to

How to Maintain the BOM and Routing in SyteLine

In SyteLine the manufacturing structure for an item is a standard (type S) job: its material lines are the BOM and its operation lines are the routing. You maintain it from the item's BOM and routing forms, set effectivity dates, then let new job orders pull a copy. Existing jobs do not update automatically, which is where most confusion comes from.

How to Build SQL Views for Custom SyteLine Reporting

Reports should read from purpose-built SQL views, not directly from SyteLine's core transactional tables, so an Infor patch cannot silently break them and heavy report queries do not lock rows the ERP itself needs. Put custom views in their own schema or under a clear naming convention, build them on stable base tables, and grant reporting tools read access to the views only.

Error fix

Fixing SyteLine's 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' error

This is a generic .NET NullReferenceException surfacing through the SyteLine IDO Runtime, not a SyteLine-specific error code. It almost always means a form, script or IDO method referenced a field, row or object that came back null, usually after a customization, a missing related record, or a view/IDO method call before the form finished loading. Turn on detailed client logging and check the most recent customization or form event first.

Error fix

Diagnosing and fixing SyteLine session timeout errors

SyteLine session timeouts come from one of three independent layers: the IDO Data Service session timeout on the app server, the IIS/application pool idle timeout for the web (Mongoose Web) client, or a load balancer/proxy idle timeout in front of a CloudSuite hosted environment. Fixing the wrong layer is the most common mistake - you need to identify which layer is actually expiring the session before changing anything.

Error fix

Resolving SyteLine multi-site replication conflict errors

A replication conflict in SyteLine's multi-site architecture means the same record (commonly an item, customer, or BOM) was changed independently at two sites between replication cycles, and the replication engine could not automatically merge the two versions. Check the replication conflict log first to see which record and which fields collided, then decide which site's version should win before resuming the queue.
