Setting Up Kanban Master Records

Access the Kanban Master Revisions form.

Kanban Size

Enter the total size of the kanban. You can leave this field blank if the size is calculated using the Kanban Size Calculation program (R30450).

Source Type

Enter a code from user-defined code 31/RS that indicates the type of supplying location for a kanban. Values are:

0: DFM Raw and In Process (RIP)

1: Work center

2: Inventory

3: Supplier

4: Outside assembly

5: Transfer Order

6: DFM Dual Card

Container Size

Displays the capacity of a container in a kanban-controlled environment. The value that appears in this field is set up in the Kanban Size Calculation Parameter Definition program (P3018).

Supplier

(Optional) Complete the supplier field if you use source type 3 (Supplier).

Line/Cell Identifier

(Optional) Defines a production line or cell. You can define detailed work center operations inside the line or cell. If the item is a rate schedule item, this field identifies the line where the item is manufactured. For DFM items, the Line Design ID populates this field.

Override

(Optional) Locks the kanban size and quantity to prevent changes by the kanban calculation program. Values are:

0: The system recalculates the size of the kanban.

1:The system does not recalculate the size of the kanban.

If you enable the override option, the system does not update the record when you run the Kanban Size Calculation program (R30450).

Receipts

(Optional) Indicates whether the system runs the receipts process at kanban check-in time. Values are:

0: The system does not run the receipt process.

1: The system runs the receipt process.

If you are setting up a supplier kanban (source type 3) and you want the purchase order receipt process to be initiated by a check-in transaction, you must activate this option.

Number of Cards

Define the number of cards for a kanban. Each card represents a container. This number is determined by dividing the kanban size by the container size. For example, a kanban of 100 might be made up of four containers that each hold 25 components. Therefore, the kanban has four cards (1 of 4, 2 of 4, 3 of 4, and 4 of 4).

Calculation Method

Specify the calculation method that you want the system to use for kanban calculations. The system provides four standard calculation methods to perform Kanban calculations.

Related Kanban ID

(Optional) Identifies the second kanban that is assigned to an item in a specified branch/plant, consuming location, or supplying location. This field is used with multi-tier and reorder point.

Ad Hoc Card Exists

Indicates the presence of an ad hoc kanban card. The card may be active or inactive. If you insert an ad hoc kanban card when an inactive ad hoc card exists, the inactive card is activated.

Dual Cards

Enter the number of cards that are required to trigger the kanban check out transaction for a dual card kanban. For example, there might be five kanbans in use between the supplying and consuming locations, and the number of dual cards is three. Thus, three kanbans must be checked out to trigger replenishment.
