Setting Up the Kanban Dashboard

This chapter covers the following topics:

Setup and Configuration Steps for the Kanban Dashboard

To complete setup of the Kanban Dashboard:

  1. Set profile options.

  2. Enable Electronic Kanban ECC access roles.

  3. Load Electronic Kanban data.

Setting Profile Options for the Kanban Dashboard

See Setup and Configuration Steps for the Kanban Dashboard.

Set a value for the following profile options to use the Kanban Dashboard:

Profile Option Name Description Default Value
FLM: Enable E-Kanban Set this site-level profile value to Yes to enable E-Kanban

Warning: If Oracle Electronic Kanban is enabled for your organization, then the regular Kanban windows in Oracle Inventory will not be available. However, the existing Oracle Inventory Kanban data will be visible in Oracle Electronic Kanban.

 Null

Enabling Electronic Kanban ECC Access Roles

See Setup and Configuration Steps for the Kanban Dashboard.

Ensure that you set up and assign the following roles to use the Kanban Dashboard:

  1. Set up the eKanban Super User responsibility.

  2. Assign the Electronic Kanban ECC Dashboard user role.

Loading Electronic Kanban ECC Data

See Setup and Configuration Steps for the Kanban Dashboard.

To load Oracle E-Business Suite data into the Kanban Dashboard, run the concurrent program Electronic Kanban ECC Data Load. You can find this concurrent program using the eKanban Super User responsibility.

The data load program loads data to the following data sets:

Data Sets for the Electronic Kanban ECC Data Load Program
Data Set Key Data Set
flm-kanban-cards-dtls Kanban Cards
flm-pullseq-details Kanban Pull Sequences
flm_kb_demand_metric Kanban Demand
flm_kb_lt_metric Kanban Lead Time

Note: To set up profile options before running data loads, see Setting Profile Options for the Kanban Dashboard.

Run the concurrent program from the Submit Request window.

Electronic Kanban ECC Data Load

the picture is described in the document text

To load Electronic Kanban ECC data:

  1. On the Find Requests window, click Submit a New Request.

  2. On the Submit Request window, select Electronic Kanban ECC Data Load from the list of values in the Name field.

  3. Use the Parameters window to enter the parameters information.

  4. The System Name field defaults to EBS.

  5. In the Dataset field, select the specific data set for which you would like to load data from the list of values. Leave this field blank to run a data load for all the data sets.

  6. In the Load Type field, select the appropriate load type:

    • Full data load: This process loads all the item pull sequences and cards data for Electronic Kanban data and is required to be run for the first data load. The full data load process also includes metadata load. If you select and run full load for subsequent requests, then this program clears the previous Electronic Kanban data from the dashboard and loads fresh data.

      Note: Running a full load removes all user defined reports and shows only the system defined report after the full load completes.

    • Incremental data load: This process loads the new and updated item pull sequences and card that are modified and updated from the previous load. Incremental load should be scheduled to run as often as required to keep the ECC dashboard current. Ensure that you run the incremental load after running a full load to avoid any data loading errors.

    • Metadata load: This process ensures the application waits for other tasks such as consolidation, data entry, or other load processes to finish before it loads the files. Note that the full data load process includes metadata load.

  7. In the Language field, enter one or more language codes for the output. For multiple language codes, use the format AA,BB,NN. For example, enter US,AR,KO. If the field is blank, then the data will be loaded for the base language only (usually US).

  8. In the Enable SQL Trace field, select TRUE to enable the SQL trace. Otherwise, select FALSE.

  9. In the Log Level field, select the program you want to report.

  10. In the Organization Code, you can select and enter the organization code for which you want to run the concurrent program.

  11. In the Reset Data field, select from the following values:

    • TRUE - when you want to reset the data set completely.

    • FALSE - when you want to extend the existing data set.

      The default value is FALSE. You can only use the Reset Data option when you run a full data load.

  12. Click OK on the Parameters window.

  13. Click Submit on the Submit Requests window to submit the concurrent request.

  14. Review your request using the Requests page.

  15. Monitor data loading using the Data Load Tracking page of the ECC Developer responsibility.

To review request details:

  1. From the menu, click Requests. The Find Requests window appears.

  2. Select the All My Requests radio button and click Find. The Requests window appears and displays all of your requests.

  3. In the Requests window, select the row that contains your request and then click View Details. The Request Detail window appears and displays the ECC- Run Data Load information.

  4. Click OK to exit and close the window.
