Generate Orders (KANBAN) (whinh2200m000)

Use this session to generate Kanban orders to feed the assembly line by replenishing warehouses.

Note that the Kanban system is unavailable for WMS-controlled warehouses.

You can generate Kanban orders based on:

  • Kanban IDs, which you can scan or enter manually.
  • Items which you can enter manually.
Note
  • To automatically process warehousing orders of type Transfer (Manual), select the Process Warehousing Transfer Orders check box.
  • If you generate warehousing orders of type Transfer (Manual), a report is printed with information on the created order.
  • If the item is a floor stock item, the receipt of the items in the WIP warehouse is not registered. An item is a floor stock item if the Floor Stock check box in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000) session is selected.

Kanban ID

The Kanban number for which a warehousing order is to be generated.

Item

The raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, and sold.

An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or which exist in multiple product variants.

You can also define nonphysical items, which are not retained in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The examples of nonphysical items:

  • Cost items (for example, electricity)
  • Service items
  • Subcontracting services
  • List items (menus/options)

Default value

If a Kanban ID is entered in the Kanban ID field, LN retrieves the default item from the Item field in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session.

When you enter an item in the current field and you specify Transfer To data, LN retrieves the Transfer From data and the Options data from the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session.

Warehouse

The warehouse that must be replenished. Note that the Kanban system is unavailable for WMS-controlled warehouses.

Default value

  • If a Kanban ID is entered in the Kanban ID field, LN retrieves the default warehouse from the Warehouse field in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session.
  • If only an item is specified, LN does not retrieve a default value and you must specify the warehouse manually.
Location

The location of the warehouse that must be replenished.

Default value

LN retrieves the default location from the Location for Transfer field in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session.

Note

You can only replenish a location if the warehouse in the Warehouse field is subdivided in locations.

Quantity Ordered

The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter.

The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock.

Ordered Quantity

The ordered quantity expressed in the inventory unit.

Default value

LN retrieves the default ordered quantity from the Supply Quantity field of the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session.

Supply Code

The type of the source that supplies the items.

LN distinguishes three supply types:

  • Supplier
  • Warehouse
  • Work Center

Default value

  • If the item type is Purchased and the Supply from Warehouse check box in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session is selected, the default value of the current field is Warehouse.
  • If the item type is Purchased and a Buy-from Business Partner is specified in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session, the default value of the current field is Supplier.
  • If the item type is Manufactured and the Supply from Warehouse check box in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session is selected, the default value of the current field is Warehouse.
  • If the item type is Manufactured and the Supply from Warehouse check box in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session is cleared, the default value of the current field is Work Center.
Supply Code

The warehouse or the buy-from business partner from which the warehouse must be replenished.

If the Supply Code is Warehouse, the current field is filled with a warehouse code. LN retrieves the default warehouse from the Supply Warehouse field in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session.

If the Supply Code is Supplier, the current field is filled with a buy-from business partner code. LN retrieves the default buy-from business partner from the Buy-from Business Partner field in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session.

If the Supply Code is Work Center, the current field is not filled because it depends on the routing from which work center the item must come.

Ship-from Business Partner

The business partner that ships the ordered goods to your organization. This usually represents a supplier's distribution center or warehouse. The definition includes the default warehouse at which you want to receive the goods and if you want to inspect the goods, the carrier that takes care of the transport, and the related buy-from business partner.

Default value

LN retrieves the default ship-from business partner from the Ship-from Business Partner field of the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session.

Order Type

A code that identifies the type of a warehousing order. The default warehousing procedure that you link to a warehousing order type determines how the warehousing orders to which the order type is allocated are processed in the warehouse, although you can modify the default procedure for individual warehousing orders or order lines.

Default value

LN retrieves the default warehousing order type from the Default Order Types by Origin (whinh0120m000) session based on the warehouse-from and warehouse-to.

Order Type

The order type determines which sessions are part of the order procedure and how and in which sequence this procedure is executed.
