Generate Orders (KANBAN) (whinh2200m000)

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

You can generate kanban orders based on:

  • Kanban Signal ID, which you can scan or enter manually.
  • Item, which you can enter manually.

The generated kanban orders are displayed in the Orders by Kanban Signal (whwmd2512m000) session.

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 (whwmd4600m000) session is selected.
  • The Kanban system is unavailable for WMS-controlled warehouses.

Kanban Signal ID

The Kanban signal number for which a supply 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 value is specified in the Kanban Signal ID field, LN retrieves the item from the Kanban Signals (whwmd2111m000) session.

If the reuse of kanban signals is not allowed, the Kanban Signals (whwmd2111m000) session only displays signals that are not linked to a supply order.

Warehouse

The warehouse that must be replenished.

Default value

If a value is specified in the Kanban Signal ID field, LN retrieves the warehouse from the Kanban Signals (whwmd2111m000) session.

Note

The Kanban system is unavailable for WMS-controlled warehouses.

Location

The location of the warehouse that must be replenished.

Default value

If a value is specified in the Kanban Signal ID field, LN retrieves the related data from the Kanban Signals (whwmd2111m000) 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.

This quantity is defaulted 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.
Note

If the Item Type Product parameter in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session is set to Active, the item types Purchased and Manufactured are replaced with item type Product. Consequently, the item type that determines the supply type is Product instead of Purchased or Manufactured.

Supply Code

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

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

If the Supply Code is Supplier, 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, a default work center is not retrieved because the routing determines the work center from which the item is replenished.

Ship-from Business Partner

The business partner who 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.

Default value

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

If this check box is selected, the warehouse orders are processed based on the order procedure defined in the order type, after creation. The orders are processed until the first step of the order procedure that must be executed manually is identified.
