Kanban orders

Kanban orders are generated or manually created using the Generate Orders (KANBAN) (whinh2200m000) session. Usually the creation of kanban supply orders is bar code driven and executed using a scanner. A kanban order is generated when the bar code of the kanban label is scanned.

However, users can also manually create kanban orders. In addition, if the Generate Kanban Order Automatically check box is selected in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session, a kanban order is generated for a newly created or activated signal.

If you manually create a kanban order in the Generate Orders (KANBAN) (whinh2200m000) session, the default order data is automatically inserted if you specify the Kanban Signal ID. The 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.
