 XML Messages for Kanban Processing

Kanban processing with the SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) uses the following XML messages:

  • DeliveryScheduleNotification

    The customer creates a message for a kanban forecast delivery schedule in his or her back-end system. He or she sends this message to SAP NetWeaver (usage type Process Integration ). SAP NetWeaver maps the message to a DeliveryScheduleNotification XML message, in which the kanban indicator is set at header level, and sends the DeliveryScheduleNotification to SAP SNC.

  • ReplenishmentOrderNotification

    The customer creates a message for the kanban request in his or her back-end system. He or she sends this message to SAP NetWeaver. SAP NetWeaver maps the message to an XML message of the type ReplenishmentOrderNotification and sends the ReplenishmentOrderNotification to SAP SNC.

  • DespatchedDeliveryInformation

    SAP SNC sends an ASN, which the supplier publishes in SAP SNC for a kanban, to the back-end system of the customer via SAP NetWeaver with a DespatchedDeliveryInformation .

  • ReceivedDeliveryInformation

    When the customer has received a full kanban, he or she sends the goods receipt information with a message from his or her back-end system to SAP NetWeaver. SAP NetWeaver maps the message to a ReceivedDeliveryInformation that it sends to SAP SNC . For more information, see ASN processing .

  • DeliveryScheduleNotification

    The customer can create a forecast delivery schedule in the customer back-end system and send this to SAP NetWeaver, to inform the supplier of required quantities in advance. SAP NetWeaver maps the forecast delivery schedule to a ReceivedDeliveryInformation that it sends to SAP SNC . A DeliveryScheduleNotification is indicated in the header data as a preview release for kanban processing.

As kanban-specific information, the XML messages contain the kanban ID and, depending on the document, the required, delivered, or received kanban quantity. In addition, the XML messages contain information about the procurement document in the customer back-end system to which the kanban request refers (such as purchase order number, contract, or scheduling agreement).
