The replenishment strategies define in the control cycle how replenishment is to take place:
Using in-house production
Using external procurement
Using stock transfer
The replenishment strategies also determine whether and which replenishment elements (run schedule quantities, production orders, and so on) are created by the kanban signal.
The replenishment strategy is assigned to the material in the control cycle.
Note
The settings for the replenishment strategy are made in Customizing for KANBAN.
