No reservation is created when the kanban status is set to EMPTY. Instead, the goods issue is posted directly at the delivering storage location and the goods receipt at the consuming storage location. Here, the information required for the goods withdrawal at the delivering storage location is recorded in either the kanban (card) or the kanban board. The kanban can be reprinted at the delivering storage location. Once the material has been delivered, the demand source sets the status to FULL.

The function "separate goods receipt" is irrelevant for this procedure.

If the supply source posts the transfer for the material instead of the demand source, you can use the "independent supply source" function. If you use this technique for a control cycle, the kanban receives the status WAIT when reported empty by the demand source. Here, the supply source uses the "replenishment" function to post the transfer. At delivery, the demand source changes the status to FULL. This status change is linked to no other functions in the background.
