As the materials manager, you may need to replenish material in response to, say, a
short-term demand surge or a prototype testing requirement.
You can add a temporary Kanban card to an existing pull sequence to serve the ad hoc
demand. The temporary card can have a Kanban size different from the standard Kanban
size for the pull sequence. Temporary Kanban cards are generated for a fixed number
of replenishments or for a date range of activity. After the maximum number of
replenishments or the cancellation date is reached, the temporary card is canceled
upon next replenishment.
To generate a temporary Kanban card:
-
Log in as the warehouse manager and navigate to the Kanban Pull Sequences
page.
Click the Pull Sequences action in the Work Definition
work area or the Pull Sequences action in the
Inventory Management work area.
-
Click the pull sequence name.
-
Click the More Actions menu and select Create
Temporary Card.
-
Specify the Maximum Replenishments or select a
Cancellation Date for the temporary Kanban
card.
After the maximum number of replenishments or the cancellation date is
reached, the temporary card is canceled upon next replenishment.
-
Under Kanban card details, optionally change the
Size value, which will be the lot size for the
bin.
The size of your temporary Kanban card can be different from the default
Kanban size for the pull sequence.
-
Click Create.
The temporary kanban card is generated for the pull sequence. A check mark
against the Temporary column indicates a temporary Kanban card.
You can print or replenish the temporary Kanban card like other cards.
