Replenishment Using Production Orders

Replenishment Using Production Orders

Use

You use this function when you process your in-house production with production orders. When the demand source sets the kanban to EMPTY, the system creates a production order for the kanban quantity for the supply source.

Prerequisites

You have determined the master data BOM, routing and work center.

If necessary, you have assigned an applicable production scheduling profile to the material to make sure that the production order is released and printed when it is opened. You can define this profile in Customizing for production orders. In Customizing for production scheduling choose Master data  Define production scheduling profile. In the material master (work preparation data screen 1) assign the profile to the material.

You have defined a production order type. You have to set the following control criteria for the order type used for KANBAN:

? Scheduling

As a rule you work with KANBAN with forward scheduling. The production order type PPK1, which contains all necessary settings, is preset in the SAP standard system for KANBAN.

To determine backward scheduling (for event-driven KANBAN) enter the standard production order type PP01.

? Automatic routing selection

For this, you maintain the automatic selection of the routing as well as the selection ID for automatic selection in the order type.

You make these settings in Customizing for production orders: Master data?Order ? Define order types. These allocations are already available for the standard order types.

In KANBAN Customizing you have already defined a replenishment strategy of control type 3 and the corresponding production order type. For this process the replenishment strategy 0003 is used (forward scheduling).
You have entered this replenishment strategy in the control cycle.

Actions

You set a kanban to EMPTY or you generate an event-driven kanban.

The system creates a production order that (depending on the settings in Customizing) is automatically released and printed.

The empty kanban or the information is transferred to the supply source.

Once the order has been completed, the supply source backflushes the quantity produced. In Customizing, you can link the backflush to the goods receipt posting. This provides the following options:

Backflush and goods receipt are not linked. In this case, the backflush is carried out in a separate transaction from the goods receipt posting and the status change. Here, if a goods receipt is posted, the system automatically sets the kanban status to FULL in the background. If the kanban status is set to FULL, the system automatically posts the goods receipt in the background.
Backflush and goods receipt are linked. Here, the system automatically posts the goods receipt and sets the status to FULL in the background when the backflush is saved.

If the goods receipt is posted before the backflush, the system sets the kanban status to FULL, but the backflush is not carried out automatically. Then when you backflush, the system recognizes that the goods receipt has already been posted and does not post a second goods receipt.

The costs incurred in production are posted to the production order.
