Kanban orders

A kanban supply order must be created manually during production. You must verify that the bin is empty and must be replenished. The replenishment is initiated with the Generate Orders (KANBAN) (whinh2200m000) session. You can access this session from the appropriate menu in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session. Usually this process is bar code driven and executed using a scanner.

In the Generate Orders (KANBAN) (whinh2200m000) session, the default order data is automatically inserted if you do one of the following:

  • Scan or manually enter the label attached to the bin
  • Specify the item and warehouse

The kanban order is generated when you click Generate. You can change the default order data before you click Generate.

Use the Process Warehousing Transfer Orders check box to specify whether the created order must be processed directly. If this check box is selected,, LN immediately executes the activities of the outbound and inbound procedures that are set to automatic and are linked to the warehousing-order type. To enable LN to carry out the procedure automatically, you must define a warehousing-order type with the outbound procedure only containing the Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) session. Because automatic print steps in the shipment procedure do not hinder the direct processing, these steps can also be included.

The following types of kanban orders can be generated:

  • Warehousing orders of type Transfer, if the item is supplied from a warehouse. You can view the generated warehousing orders in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session.
  • Purchase orders, if the item is supplied by a business partner. You can view the generated purchase orders in the Purchase Orders - Overview (tdpur4500m500) session.
  • Production orders ( SFC), if the item is supplied from a work center. You can view these generated production orders in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) session.
