 Process Flow for One-Time Kanban

Purpose

In SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) you use one-time kanban to replenish when specifically requested. There are two main differences between one-time kanban and classic kanban. The differences are as follows:

  • In one-time Kanban there is no status Full . Goods Receipt in SAP ERP moves the SAP SNC kanban object to the status Closed .

  • You can reuse a one-time kanban card with the status Closed in other one-time kanban control cycles.

Process Flow

The process is as follows:

  1. In SAP ERP a o ne-time Kanban is created in an event driven control cycle. In SAP SNC the same kanban object either does not exist, or it exists with the status Closed.

  2. You can update a one-time Kanban as usual in SAP ERP. Any changes you make are reflected in SAP SNC.

    Note Note

    This step is optional.

    End of the note.

  3. You can cancel a one-time Kanban in SAP ERP. The kanban object in SAP SNC is deleted.

    Note Note

    This step is optional.

    End of the note.

  4. You can set Empty kanban objects into the status In Transit or In Work in SAP SNC.

    Note Note

    This is no different from the classic Kanban process.

    End of the note.

  5. When a one-time Kanban arrives to its destination, a goods receipt enters SAP SNC. If the referred kanban object is a one-time Kanban with the status In Transit , the kanban object changes to status Closed . If this does not happen the goods receipt fails.

  6. In SAP ERP, the kanban object now has the status Full . The next time it is set to Empty in SAP ERP, the system can reuse the kanban ID of the container. If the kanban object in SAP SNC is not in status Closed , the goods receipt processing fails.
