You can only trigger the event-driven kanban signal for materials which are procured by a control cycle for event-driven KANBAN.

Using this function, the system only creates a new kanban with status EMPTY and depending on the replenishment strategy, it also creates the appropriate replenishment element automatically. You can only set the kanban to FULL or make another status change using the bar code or the appropriate function in the menu or using the kanban board. The kanban created here is deleted again when it is set to EMPTY (for example, by the kanban signal from the bar code scanner). A new event-driven kanban signal then creates another new kanban with replenishment.

• Supply area

3. Enter the requested quantity and save your entries.

Depending on the data you entered in the control cycle, the system either creates a kanban for the complete requested quantity or it creates one or more kanbans according to the following criteria:

• If you entered a rounding quantity, the quantity requested is rounded if necessary.

• If you entered a fixed kanban quantity, the following options exist:

• If the requested quantity is smaller than the fixed kanban quantity, the system replenishes the fixed quantity.
• If the requested quantity is greater then the fixed kanban quantity, the system splits the total quantity by the fixed quantity and creates the appropriate number of kanbans for the fixed kanban quantity. If a rest quantity remains after dividing the quantity requested by the fixed quantity, the system creates an additional kanban for the fixed quantity to cover this rest quantity.

• If you entered a proposed value for the kanban quantity and you do not define a requested quantity, the system uses this proposed value.

The kanbans created are displayed in a list in the section of the screen entitled Processed kanbans.
