  Deletion of Event-Driven Kanbans Locate this document in the navigation structure

Use

This report allows you to define the conditions under which event-driven kanbans can be deleted from the system in dialog mode or in the background. Without this report, event-driven kanbans are only deleted when their status is changed from Full to Empty.

With this report, the setting of the status to Full triggers the deletion of one or more kanbans.

Prerequisites

You have included status 1 in the status sequence for kanban.

You can enter standard values for the minimum number of kanbans that should remain and the minimum length of time before the kanbans are deleted by choosing   KANBAN   Set Deletion Of Event-Driven Kanbans   in Customizing for Production .

Features

On the initial screen, enter the minimum number of kanbans which must remain and the minimum length of time, in days, before kanbans can be deleted. Before deletion can take place, the conditions in both fields must be met. You can also enter further selection criteria to limit the number of kanbans to be deleted.

The report deletes event-driven kanbans with the status Full on the kanban board that also meet all selection criteria, but the report leaves the specified minimum number of kanbans and all kanbans that have not yet reached the minimum age. The system produces a list of the kanbans that have been deleted.

If you set the Simulation indicator, the system only simulates deletion, and produces a list of those kanbans that would have been deleted on the basis of your specifications.

Example

You have set the maximum number of kanbans to four and the maximum age to one (day) in plant 0001. There are still four kanbans in the system from the previous day and four new kanbans are set to the status Full.

The system carries out the check as follows:

  • The system recognizes that four out of the eight available kanbans in the system can be deleted and checks their age. Since four kanbans are more than a day old they can be deleted.

  • In this example, if two lots of four kanbans are set to Full status on the same day, all eight stay in the system because they have not fulfilled the condition of being at least a day old.
