Replenishment Using Run Schedule Quantities

Replenishment Using Run Schedule Quantities

Use

You use this function when you produce the necessary material yourself, by means of repetitive manufacturing. As soon as a kanban is set to EMPTY the system creates run schedule quantities for this material, i.e. planned orders for repetitive manufacturing, and this triggers production.

Prerequisites

You have entered a repetitive manufacturing profile for the material in the material master, that guarantees billing with cost collector.

You have created a production version for the material in the material master record.

You have created a cost collector.

In this process the system posts the costs incurred in production to the cost collector. Refer to Cost collector for KANBAN for determining the cost collector.

You have placed an appropriate replenishment strategy in the control cycle. You have either determined this replenishment strategy yourself, or you have used the system standard replenishment strategy 0002.
You have entered the production version in your control cycle under in-house production. In this way the system immediately creates run schedule quantities, i.e. it assigns the planned order directly to the line entered in the production version.

Actions

1. You set a kanban to EMPTY.

2. The system creates a run schedule quantity.

3. The kanban or the information is transported by the demand source to the supply source. If necessary the card is reprinted at the supply source or it is attached to the kanban.

4. The supply source receives the information on all the empty containers by means of the kanban or via the kanban board.

5. After the container has been filled by the supply source, you have three options:

The supply source backflushes the replenished quantity. The goods receipt for the material produced, the goods issue for the components and the deletion of the run schedule quantity are all automatically combined with the KANBAN backflush function in repetitive manufacturing (from the repetitive manufacturing menu under Backflush ® Final backflush ® For kanban). In this backflush transaction, you can also branch into the component processing screen where you can change component materials or quantities. When you save the backflush, the system automatically sets the status to FULL.

Also read the section Carrying Out the Kanban Backflush.

The demand source sets the container to FULL. Then the system automatically backflushes the current data of the run schedule quantity. Backflush includes: GR for the replenished material, GI for the components and deletion of run schedule quantity.

If you manually change the component list of the run schedule quantity (in order to change component quantities for example), the system automatically carries out the backflush with the changed run schedule quantity data when the kanban is set to FULL.

If the status is set to FULL or the backflush transaction is posted without component processing, then the system explodes the current BOM. If you want to change components, then you must use the backflushing function or you can manually change the run schedule quantity. In so doing, you access the component screen.
