Kanban Overview

Use transactions in the Warehouse Mobility Kanban menu to manage your Kanban system. You can use these transactions to create, track, replenish, and cancel Kanbans in Infor LN.

Kanbans always have a status to indicate their current place in the replenishment cycle. They change status in this sequence:

  1. In Stock: items are available
  2. Requested (optional): replenishment is required
  3. Approved: replenishment request is approved
  4. On Order: production, purchase, or transfer replenishment order is created
  5. Received: order is filled

Kanbans that are not in use have the Canceled status.

The replenishment cycle a Kanban follows is its Kanban Loop. You can configure Kanban Loops on the Kanban Loop form in Infor LN.

When performing some transactions, you can scan a Kanban number in the Kanban field instead of scanning the item number and other stock point information.
