Grouping Kanbans to a Summarized JIT Call
Use
You group material requirements, or kanbans, in order to achieve optimization in delivery. If you have set the grouping of material requirements in the system, on emptying a kanban, the system checks whether this material requirement can be attached to an existing summarized JIT call. If this is the case, then the system generates an item for an existing summarized JIT call. If this is not the case, the system creates a new summarized JIT call.
In principle, you can only group kanbans that have
and have not yet been transmitted.
If you decide to group kanbans, then you may choose the type of grouping:
Prerequisites
You have defined the grouping of material requirements in the JIT call profile (Customizing for KANBAN):
You have placed the message partner in the scheduling agreement with the partner function. The system can calculate the message partner via the partner function in the JIT call profile.
Features
You group requirements which are in the same plant.
On emptying the kanban, the system checks whether there is already a summarized JIT call for this plant. If so, the system creates a new item in an existing summarized JIT call, if this is not the case, a new JIT call is formed.
You group requirements, which are delivered to the same unloading point.
The process is the same as grouping according to plant.
You group requirements together, whose delivery dates lie within a specific period.
For grouping using exact times, enter the following:
For grouping using exact days, you need:
