Many to Many structure for product kits in SQL Server MDS 2016

I'm building a product model in that includes the bill of material data. Customer account was pretty straightforward with parent accounts and child locations.

We have components at the lowest level. Those can be assembled to make finished goods or kits with multiple finished goods plus packaging components. The relationship between kits and components is many to many. The finished goods each have a "type".

Moreover, kits can be part of other kits with the addition of a few components.

An example would be a company that sells hard drives, cases and CPUs as well as complete computers. In this case, the finished good types would be "hard drive", "case" or "CPU". Complete computers would be kits and a computer bundled with an external hard drive would be a kit containing another kit.

The ultimate objective is to be able to report on sales by finished good type - with and without the kit level. Kits would mostly be "cross-type", but some, like CPU multi-packs, would be "CPU". We'll be excluding the other components for now, but they have their own identifying attributes.

My question is: Do I need to do anything special to handle the kits within kits case?

Thanks in advance.
