Use

In the tabular representation of the kanban board, each kanban belonging to a control cycle is shown in a separate line. The kanbans are differentiated by their ID numbers. The data is subdivided into control cycle and kanban data.

The statuses of the kanbans are shown in a table column. There is one column for the status and another for the short text for the status. Furthermore, the kanban data is highlighted in color, depending on the relevant status.

Procedure

  1. Starting from the Kanban menu, choose   Control   Kanban Board   Supply-Source View.  

    The system branches to the initial screen of the supply source.

  2. Enter:

    The plant and the person responsible for the supply source (in the case of in-house production)

    The issuing plant (in the case of plant-to-plant delivery)

    The vendor (in the case of external procurement)

    The plant and the storage location (in the case of stock transfer)

    The material number as a further selection criterion

    If you need additional selection criteria, you can use the Extended Selection function. Choose Extended Selection and enter your selection criteria in the ensuing dialog box.

    Set the Tabular Display indicator.

    You can save the settings chosen to invoke the kanban board for subsequent sessions via   Kanban Board   Save Settings   .

  3. Choose Continue .

    Depending on the selection criterion, the kanban board appears with one or more production supply areas.

    Each kanban of a control cycle is represented in a separate line.

  4. To assign another status to a kanban from within the supply source view, select the line and choose Set Status to In Process or Set Status to In Transit. All other statuses can be found in the menu under Edit .

    Depending on the replenishment strategy, the system performs the appropriate transactions and makes the relevant postings in the background.
