 Kanban with SD delivery Locate this document in the navigation structure

Use

Usually, you use Kanban to supply your own production. Now you are able to deliver a kanban directly to your customer via an SD scheduling agreement.

In this process, you receive a kanban call from your customer. First you procure the desired material via Kanban from your goods issue storage location, for example, then you deliver it on to your customer.

Prerequisites

  • You have created an SD scheduling agreement with a delivery block for the delivery due list (in the standard system SAP supplies the entry 08 'Kanban delivery').

  • You have created a status sequence in which the status In Use is mandatory.

  • You have created a replenishment strategy that provides for processing via Kanban with SD in Customizing for Kanban.

    Note Note

    You can use this process for all replenishment strategies(external procurement, in-house production and stock transfer).

    End of the note.

  • You have created a Kanban control cycle for this material with the above-mentioned replenishment strategy and specified the scheduling agreement number and item in the control cycle under Process Control.

Activities

  1. You receive a Kanban call from the customer (by fax, for example).

  2. Starting from the Kanban menu, choose   Control   Kanban Signal   Kanban Call   and either enter the scheduling agreement number or determine the scheduling agreement using search criteria. In addition, enter the requested quantity.Save your entries.

    Note Note

    If you receive the message via EDI, the system determines the scheduling agreement and processes the requested quantity automatically.

    End of the note.

  3. The system sets the kanban to the status "Empty".

  4. Thus, the usual Kanban process starts and the requested quantity is procured depending on the replenishment strategy.

  5. You set the kanban to "Full" as soon as the kanban quantity has been procured.

  6. The system posts the kanban quantity to the production supply area you have specified in your control cycle, which in this case serves as the goods issue stores.

  7. a) If you have selected the indicator 1, the system creates a delivery when the kanban is set to "Full". As soon as the kanban acquires the status "In Use", the system posts the goods issue.

    b) If you have set the indicator 2, the system only creates the delivery if the kanban has the status "In Use". The goods issue must be posted manually.
