Generate Orders (KANBAN) (whinh2200m000)

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

Kanban orders or kanban order advice are based on kanban signals. To generate a kanban order or kanban order advice, specify a kanban signal with the In Stockstatus in the Kanban Signal ID field and click Generate. The setting of the Generate Order Advice check box in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session or the Item - Warehousing by Site (whwmd4604m000)determines whether orders or order advice is generated.

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

The generated kanban order advice is displayed in the Warehouse Order Advice (whina3120m000) session, the Production Order Advice (whina3100m000)session, or the Purchase Order Advice (whina3110m000) session.

Note: 
  • If the Combine Order Advice check box is selected in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session, supply requests are combined with existing unconfirmed order advices if the item and the supply source match.
  • If the Automatically Confirm Order Advice check box is selected in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session, the generated order advices are confirmed.
  • 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.

Default value

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

supply type

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.
