You use this function to define the production supply areas that you need for Kanban.
To define the supply area, you can choose between the following transactions:
Maintain Production Supply Area (transaction code PK05)
Fast Entry of Production Supply Area (transaction code PK05S)
To create a new supply area, enter the following data for each plant:
Name and short description of the supply area
Storage location to which the supply area is assigned. The goods movements for the kanban material are posted to this storage location.
Person responsible for production
Note
In the Kanban application, you must enter the person responsible when creating a production supply area. However, the person responsible for production is not marked as a mandatory entry because you can create supply areas in Warehouse Management using the same transaction without having to enter this person.
Unloading point (where appropriate)
The unloading point is printed on the kanban card or adopted in the summarized JIT call itself.
