Replenishment Using Manual Kanban 
Use
When the demand source (consumer) sets the kanban to "Empty", no replenishment elements are generated. You use this type of replenishment if your production is controlled purely by the kanban card or the kanban board and not via planned orders generated by the system.
Prerequisites
If you want to work with Kanban as a manual procedure, you must enter a repetitive manufacturing profile in the master record for the material to ensure settlement via cost collector. In the standard SAP system, the repetitive manufacturing profile 0005 is supplied. This profile contains the parameters for this replenishment strategy - in particular for the determination of the cost collector. For more information on the cost collector and the repetitive manufacturing profile, see Cost Accounting for Kanban .
Features
Standard process
As soon as the kanban is empty, this information is conveyed to the supply source. The source receives the information via either the card or the kanban board. The supply source produces the kanban quantity. If the kanban board is in use, the statuses "In Process" or "In Transit" can be set.
Confirmation is carried out via the confirmation transaction or by setting the kanban status to "Full". The confirmation transaction automatically includes the goods receipt for the finished product and the goods issue for the components.
If the status is set to "Full" or the confirmation transaction is posted without component processing, the system explodes the current BOM. If components are to be changed, you must work with the confirmation transaction, in the process invoking the component processing function.
The costs are posted to the cost collector. To determine the cost collector see Product Cost Collector.
Independent supply source
Serves information purposes only, without further functions, because not replenishment element is generated.
Separate goods receipt
During confirmation, although the goods receipt is posted automatically, the status of the kanban is not set to "Full". If a goods receipt is posted prior to confirmation, the status is no automatically set to "Full".
Note
In the case of separate goods receipt, only confirmation leads to the kanban quantity being increased - not the setting of the kanban to "Full". Therefore, when the confirmation is carried out, the kanban quantity is replenished even if the kanban status has not yet been set to "Full" at this time. (This change is shown on the kanban board by a + in the kanban status.) If the kanban status is set to "Full" even though no confirmation has yet been entered, the kanban quantity remains zero until such time as confirmation has taken place.
As a result of this, conversely, it is not possible to reset the status to "Empty" before the confirmation has been entered.
