Understanding DFM Kanban Masters

You use the DFM Kanban Master program (PF31K30) to make required kanban master revisions. The DFM Kanban Master program enables you to create additional kanban masters by revising the number of bins, overriding the kanban quantity, specifying the kanban label message, and deleting a kanban. New kanban master records are created in the FF31K30 table.

Kanbans are defined, sized, and approved in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Flow Manufacturing before being exported to base manufacturing. All fields imported from the DFM Kanban Master table are reflected in the base manufacturing Kanban master table. If you change the kanban size to zero in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Flow Manufacturing, the Export/Purge Kanban Master program deletes the kanban masters in both JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Flow Manufacturing and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Manufacturing.

See Importing Data from JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Base Manufacturing to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Flow Manufacturing.

Important: You cannot create a kanban master from scratch. You must run the setup process of assigning pull chain to components, calculating kanban size, and approving kanban size.

You can access the Print Kanban Label program (RF31K31) from the DFM Kanban Master program to reprint kanban labels after changes are made to the kanban master. If you are reprinting a large quantity of kanban labels, you should use the Print Kanban Label program from the menu and set the data selection accordingly.
