Kanban replenishment with WM

I am using Kanban replenishment with strategy stock transfer from a WM managed storage location(strategy 0006).If I put the Kanban status to empty,I am able to generate Transfer requirement.I converted the TR to TO and confirmed the TO.I am able to move the stock from say storage type R01 to 150, but the stock transfer was not happening from the WM storage location to Kanban storage location.I had maintained supply area and control cycle.Also in WM -PP interface ,for Kanban WM movement type 350 was assigned to ware house and storage type.Also maintained storage location control in WM ,for the ware house and storage type(150) and kanban storage location IM movement type 311 is assigned.Combine post.changes is unchecked.What are the other settings to be made to have automatic transfer with mvt type 311 as soon as TO is confirmed?
Thanks

Also you can try the following
1>Within this customizing, there is the option to notify an user id that the goods movement has failed. If you have set up the mail control then you can check at the mailbox if there is any mail explaining why the goods movement has failed
2>check transaction SMQ1 under queue name WMIM* to see if there are any blocked queues. If there are any failed processes, these can be cleared from the blocked queue in transaction SMQ1. (this is because many subsequent processes in WM like auto TO creation is controlled by qrfc and if the rfc queue is blocked the subsequent process will not occur)

Kanban Replenishment Strategy with Reporting Points

I am trying to implement a SAP kanban system with repetitive manufacturing using reporting points. My problem is that when I change the status from empty to full I get error RM086 - GR with backflush not for reporting point logic with automatic GR option. I get this error regardless of control key (auto GR or not auto GR) setting on the routing. I reading SAP help on the subject; I see there is a page discussing replenishment strategy with reporting points which would infer that there should be a strategy with a similar name in configuration for replinishment strategies for in-house prodution. We are on ECC 6.0 and this option is not available in our system. What am I missing???

Hi,
As you are using In House production Replenishment Strategy , You must define Replenishment strategy for reporting points in Configuration as below:
SPRO->Production>KANBAN>Replenishment Strategies>Define In-house Production Strategies>Working With Reporting Points Replenishment strategy you need to define.
Then assigned this defined strategy in KANBAN Control Cycle in PKMC-->Replenishment Strategy->
Choose In-house Production Radio Button and in front of that select the above defined replenishment strategy to work with reporting points.
Hope this helps.

Planned Replenishment with Message no. /SCWM/REPL008

Hi experts
I can run Planned Replenishment with the old material and system can created the warehouse task. but for the new product created today, after excuted the REPL program and it shows the related replenishment quantities, but when click "perform replenishment" system alway says "Replenishment run started in whse no. W202 with replenishment strategy Planned Replenishment. Message no. /SCWM/REPL008". I have compared the product parameters and they are same, some backgroud as below:
1, I use the consign stock for vendor,
2, have assigned the fix bins to the new material.
please advise.
Leo

I have get the answer from SAP, notes 1784164 can solve this problem.
the Symptom is "If stock determination is active for such a batch product and no batch is specified in the delivery, the system may not find any stocks even though stocks do exist"

Kanban: in-house production. relation kanban - replenishment order

Dear Experts,
We are investigating the posibilities of using kanban for in-house production. We work with production orders. I have set the test system so it works with classic Kanban and a replenishment strategy that will create PP production ordres.
The system works OK. When the KANBAn is set to EMPTY (in the kanban board for instance) , a replenishment element is generated. The relation is 1 KANBAN - 1 Production order.
Is it possible to "assign" two KANBANS to a single replenishment element (productio order in my case)? In some cases two or more kanbans will be emptied at the same time (in the KANBAN board for instance), and this would reduce the "noise" in the system.
Somehow in the documentation "PP-KANBAN" manual, inside "KANBAN control. in-house production" some other option to reduce the amount of production orders is mentioned, but not very clearly explained how to do this.
Thanks for your answers,
Arturo

Hello,
Your question is not clear to give correct feedback. Do you want to wprk with multiple KANBANS with production orders?
I am not understanding about the sentence "reduce the amount of production orders"
If you want to work work minimum production orders then you can automate the KANBAN replinishment through MRP.

Kanban Replenishment

Hi
I am creating the control cycle( Classic KANBAN ) with replenishment strategy External Source , I am not allowed to do.
I am checking the drop menu and error message is coming no suitable replenishment strategy found.
Please maintain the replenishment strategies in Customizing for Kanban
It is surprising because Replenishment stratigies are maintained for the plant when I check the Customizing.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards
Ankur

Hi,
It may be very very late to answer you, but it may be useful to other users.
If you selected the external source strategy in the control cycle, you need to inform in the material master, in the screen MRP 4, in the field 'SLoc MRP indicator' the value '1 - Storage location stock excluded from MRP'. Make sure to access the material informing the center and Storage location, otherwise this field will not be visible.
You do this because the kanban will act as the 'new' MRP for this material.

Kanban replenishment WM to IM

Hi all,
I am working on the scenario to replenish the production floor (IM location) when the inventory goes below certain level.I have configured the kanban stock transfer option 0006, Created a control cycle with 2 containers. I tried to use the trigger quantity in the control cycle but it didnt work. So i used PK13n to manually set the empty indicator. This triggered the replenishment from WM to IM. But I want to automate this by using the trigger quantity. Can some one please provide some insight on how the trigger quantity should be used in this situation.
Also I tried to consume the inventory from the production floor location by charging it to a cost center. But the Kanban container status is still set to FULL status even with no inventory in the location. When does the quantity in the kanban container change?
Appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks

Hi
It is impossible to consider all of the stock (e.g. the sum of quantities for several kanbans in stock.). The triggering quantity is for the quantity of a kanban. e.g. there are 2 kanbans A and B in a control cycle. The trigger quantity 2 and value 3 is maintained for th field 'Trigger replen.' in the control cyle. Then if the kanban quantity of kanban A is resuded to 2 or smaller than 2 the kanban A is triggered the replenishment. Thi is the logic how the trigger quantity works.

Kanban integration with SRM

Hi,
We have implemented SRM 5.0 with MM-SUS scenario and backend system is SAP R/3 4.7.
In present scenario, schedules generated through MRP are available on Suppliers portal for ASN generation.
Now we are planning to go for KANBAN process in R/3 and integration with SUS.
Our requirements are as follows
1) MRP generated schedule releases in R/3 must be available on supplier portal as indicative schedule
2) KANBAN generated schedules in R/3 must be available on supplier portal as active schedule against which supplier will be able to generate the ASNs.
3) On schedule generation the same should be communicated to supplier and 3PL (transporter) through email / SMS.
Please let me know the feasibility of the above requirements in SRM. Whether it can be done with standard process or development is needed.
Thanks in advance
Best Regards,
Rahul Taskhedkar.

Hi
There is no standard interface available out of the box b/w SAP E Sourcing and SRM7.0. However you can create a custom XML/ flat file based interface with help from XI/PI expert.
SRM 7.0 doesnot offer contract authoring feature.

RE: How to perform replenishment with shelf storage

I had set the maximum and replenishment qty for the article in material master.
In the shelf rack, I need to execute replenishment to bring in stock from the high rack.
What's the TCODE to execute this function?
I am in rel .7
I tried LP21, LP22 and LP24. All does not match my requirement.
Have I missed out any tcode?
Here is how it works.
Article # 100 has a replenishment qty of 100 pcs, a maximum qty of 100 and min. of 10 pcs.
I had stock in 350A01 and 350B01 and 350C01. All stock in each bin dropped below 10 pcs, eg 5 pcs.
When I run the replenishment, it should trigger a requirement and allow me to create a transfer order of 3 line item to bring stock from my hgh rack to each of the bin.
Thanks
Bye

Dear Colin,
Transcation code LP24 (i.e. program RLLNACH4) is the correct one for replenishing storage types with putaway strategy L. However, the minimum quantity you enter in the corresponding field in the material master refers to the stock of entire storage type, not to the stock of the individual bin.
Best regards,
Christiane

Replenishment with less than required quantity

All,
We are executing replenishment via RLLNACH1 (or LP21) from our high rack to our fixed bins in the background.
We then run RLAUTA10 to create the TO from the TR. We have selected allow partial prov in TO and Select partially processed TO's.
In some cases, we are seeing TO's created for less than the required quantity or NO TO's at all when there is enough stock in both cases.
Scenario 1:
Material Master Settings for fixed bin:
Min: 10
Max: 102
Replen Qty: 0
Stock situation:
High rack for bin1 = qty 26
High rack for bin2 = 120
Fixed bin Qty avail stock = 4 (below min)
TR created for Qty of 98 (102 minus 4 avail). TO created for only 26 (the first bin above in full). This leaves the TR partially processed, with remaining open qty of 72 (98 minus 26). The system did not create TO a second line item for the TO from the other available stock in bin2 for the balance up to the maximum. Any ideas why not? Does GR Date in high rack bin or quantity in the high rack bin?
Scenario 2:
Material Master Settings for fixed bin:
Min: 30
Max: 50
Replen Qty: 0
Stock situation:
High rack for bin1 = qty 150
High rack for bin2 = 300
High rack for bin3 = 275
Fixed bin Qty avail stock = 15 (below min)
TR created for Qty of 35 (50 minus 15 avail). TO is NOT being created. There is plenty of stock in high racks. Not sure why???
This is creating many ineffeciencies in our system. Please respond.
Regards,
Sandy Miner

Thank you very much for your reply. I believe my settings are correct for my strategies and storage type master data.
Storage Type Search strategy is going for both high rack and double pallet (001 & 002). My stock in question is located in the high racks (001). High racks are SU managed.
The materials in question are not batched managed, so that should not be an issue.
The fixed bin storage type has 'addition to stock' set and it is not SU managed. We do not allow mixed storage of any kind. I don't THINK this is a problem because the fixed bin is not SU managed and, as stated before, the material is not batched managed, so changing it to setting "A" several homogeneous storage units per bin should not impact this because it's not SU managed. Do you agree?
I am checking the back ground job log as well, to see if there's any messages in that log. I do like the idea of creating the TO manually and 'debugging' the search strategy, etc.
Any other input would be helpful. Especially about the mixed storage note above. Could this be an issue? Do you allow mixed storage in your fixed bins? Are you settings similar?
Thank you,
Regards,
Sandy

Kanban issue - Setting for new Kanban functionality in ECC 6.0

Hi, I am facing a problem while recieving stock from a production order. The system does not create a transfer requirement or a TO.
Let me give you a brief background.
This is a new functionality introduced in ECC 6.0 for working with kanban in WM.
Supply area is created for WM location.
Control cycle is created for material, supply area. Warehouse, storage type and Bin is maintained in control cycle record. When the GR is done for production order material is recieved in this bin.
1) Now when the Kanban is set empty a production order is automatically created.
2) Once the production order is confirmed the material automatically shows up in the bin.
A material document is created which shows IM movement type 101 and WM movement type 103. Also in material document Immediate auto TO checkmark is blank.
3) PROBLEM - System does not create a TR or a TO. the material automatically shows up in the Bin. How can we enable an auto TR and TO creation.
Following are the settings which I have already checked:
1) In IMG, WM movement type 103 has auto TO indicator set.
2) IM-WM interface for 102 movement type and 103 movement type is maintained.
The main problem is: Although the material document displays WM movement type 103 and the stock lies in WM bin, System never created a Transfer requirement or a Transfer order.
I would really appreciate if anyone can help me in this.
Thanks

Kanban storage location

hi all,
i have the scenario
for one R raw-material i have maintained the stock for the st.location in 0001. and in the production st location pl01
i included the 0001 str.location in the MRP. and exclude the prod. st.location pl01from mrp .i use this st.location for kanban replenishment.
i have to produce the finish product X which have R raw material as one of the component.
if i run the mrp for the production it will create the purchase requ (depnt reqmt ) for the raw material R from mrp list.
while in the production for the product, while production ,it create the reqmt for the same raw material inturn produce the purchase order in the kanban
so it will totally create the double the reqmt of the raw material R .
how to solve this issue

Hi,
This will happen obviously.
Here you need to do is you need to decide whether you want plan Raw material with MRP or Kanban.
If you want MRP also for the same then you include both storage location in MRP else you exclude both the storage location and plan with only Kanban Purchase Orders only.
Try any one of the above options which suits your need.
Hope this helps resolve your problem.
Feel free to revert if any doubt.

Initial Set Status of Kanban board

Hi all,
I want to ask a question. I am using classic kanban processing with Purchase Order replenishment strategy. I am new to kanban. I just want to ask how I can set initial status of kanban container in first time SAP is go live. Like in inventory, we have good movement type for initial stock (561). Suppose I have 5 kanban container. 3 of them have status full and two of them have status empty. The question is how i can set status full for 3 kanban container for the first time setup because I found that in first time status setup of 5 kanban container is waiting.
Thanks for your response.

thank you for your answer.
i know how to set default on client-level. what i would like to do (maybe with a user exit) is to set the header status depending e.g. on plant.

Account Number for a Kanban requisition

Have an item with an expense account # 1234 at the org item. A requisition gets created from a Kanban replenishment. The requisition pulls in the expense account number from the subinventory. THoughts to as why that happens?

The expense a/c is defaulted in the following order
1) Subinventory a/c
2) Item expense a/c
3) Org parameter expense a/c
Since Kanban requisitions are tied to a subinventory, the a/c number comes from the subinventory.
Hope this helps,

Kanban barcode

Hi,
I have a problem with barcode kanban.
I would like to create a production order through Barcode kanban.
I get this error "No control cycle or kanban could be determined for the data specified"
what can I do to customise the system so that it's work.
thanks
Derval

Hi Dade,
For Kanban u have to create the control cycle and all other kanban settinngs like supply area,demand area,supply cle ,demand cycle.
Control cycle is one of the master data for KANBAN along with supply area and replinesment strategy. In control cycle you will define the calculation and the replinsment stretegy for the material
Supply source view ( PK12N) and you can see the container here with emty status which trigers the procurement or in MD04 for the replenishment elements like Planned orders or stock transport order or schedule lines according to you configuration of replenishment strategy in the control cycle
Please go through the link for more details,
