Kanban activation

Kanban activation is required to integrate the Factory Track Kanban data setup with Warehousing. When the activation process is completed, you can use the integrated functionality in Warehousing.

The kanban activation processes consist of a preparatory stage and an activation stage.

During the preparatory stage, you must define or adjust master data, set parameters, and maintain kanban order data.

To maintain this data, you must perform the activation activities of the Integrate Kanban with Warehousing concept in the Concept Activation (tcemm4600m000) session.

You can perform and validate each activation activity as often as needed. For more information about concepts and activation activities, see Concept activation overview and General concept activation procedure.

After completing the activation activities, you can activate the integration by setting the Integrate Kanban with Warehousing concept to Active. When the concept is activated, these actions are performed:

  • The kanban data is transferred to Warehousing.
  • The Kanban menu is removed from the Factory Track menu.
