Changes in kanban order quantities

In the course of the kanban order process, the ordered quantitiy of a kanban order can be changed.

The changed order quantity affects the kanban signal quantities that are linked to the kanban order.

A kanban order is linked to multiple signals if the kanban order is created from kanban-order advice to which order advice grouping applies.

If the ordered quantity is increased, and the kanban order is linked to multiple kanban signals, the quantity of the last kanban signal is increased. If the ordered quantity is decreased, the quantity of the last signal is decreased, and the other signals are decreased from the last signal upwards if required.

Purchase-order advice A has a total quantity of 15. Three kanban signals are linked to advice A. The quantity of each signal is 5.

Purchase order PUR100 and order line 10 is created. The kanban signals are linked to the order line. This information is displayed in the Orders by Kanban Signal (wmd2512m000) session.
