Kanban Items

As with all items, you must set up an item record in both the F4101 and F4102 tables for kanban-controlled items.

Note: All items that are part of a source type 4 kanban must have a stocking type of 9, including the parent item. Additionally, you must verify that stocking type 9 in the system is defined with O in the special handling code and either an M or P code in the Description 02 column. The stocking type user-defined code (UDC) table is 41/I.The parent item for the source type 4 kanban must have a corresponding bill of material structure. You use this bill of material to perform cost roll-ups and generate sales orders.

On the Additional System Information form (Plant Manufacturing tab) of the item branch record, you must select the associated option to identify the item as kanban-specific to that branch. Within a branch/plant, an item that is kanban-controlled must be a kanban-controlled item throughout the entire branch/plant. This helps the planning system identify kanban-specific items.

Along with the item branch record that you create for a kanban item in the F4102 table, you must define a consuming location (the location to which the item is transferred for consumption) and a supplying location (the originating location, which could be a completion or receiving location, depending on whether the item is manufactured or purchased). The source, or supply, for a kanban can be an inventory location (common parts), a work center (a manufactured subassembly), or a receiving location (a purchased or transferred part).

The system validates that the consuming and supplying locations are set up, regardless of how the location control switch is set on branch/plant constants.
