Other Frames
Depending on setup data, additional frames may prompt for input when you are entering kanban transactions.
Purchase Order Receiving Data
In Kanban Fill/Receive (17.21.19.5), you are prompted for a purchase order and line number under the following circumstances, based on settings for the loop defined in Kanban Master Maintenance:
• Source Type is Supplier in the Source Data frame.
• Purchase Order and Line are not both specified.
• Impact Inventory is Yes in the Card Control Data frame.
When the kanban master record includes both a PO number and an open line, the system records the receipt against the PO without displaying a prompt. Otherwise, you must specify a valid PO and line before the transaction can be processed. If the kanban master record includes a purchase order without a line, the PO number defaults to the prompt frame, but you still must enter a valid line number. When the order associated with the kanban master record is a blanket PO, the system uses the latest release. See
Inventory Effects.
When Impact Inventory is No, the system creates kanban history to show that the kanban transaction was recorded, but does not create a PO receipt. In that case, the PO prompt does not display.
Additionally, prompts for receiving reference data can display based on two settings in Kanban Master Maintenance:
• When PO Receipt Data Entry is Yes, you are prompted for optional receiving note and packing slip numbers. If you leave Receiver Note blank, the system assigns a number based on the receiver prefix and next receiver number maintained in Purchasing Control (5.24).
• When Lot Entry is Yes, you are prompted for optional lot and reference numbers.
Quantity Data
In some cases, the quantity suitable for use is not necessarily the same as the kanban quantity. For example, items can be damaged in transit, or the supplier might ship more items than ordered.
Kanban Ship and Kanban Fill/Receive let you record the actual quantity, rather than the kanban quantity, when Modify Inventory Data is Yes in Kanban Master Maintenance.
Depending on the source of the loop (supplier, inventory, process) and the transaction, fields can include:
Quantity Accepted
Quantity Scrapped
Reason (including multi-entry feature) for scrap
Receipt Location
Issuing Location
Use Kanban Quantity Audit Report (17.6.16) to identify loops with cards on which the recorded quantity does not equal the kanban quantity. You can specify a tolerance percent to limit the selection to cards where the difference exceeds a given threshold.
Additionally, a field in Kanban Master Maintenance tracks cumulative shortfall quantities. You can periodically use Kanban Card Management to create limited-use cards to compensate for cumulative shortages or to set the cumulative shortfall field to zero. See
Process Accumulated Shortfall.
FIFO Process Data
When your manufacturing environment includes FIFO processes and you choose to track kanban items as they move between these processes, you can record that movement using Kanban Ship (17.6.4). See
FIFO Lanes.
When you enter a transaction in Kanban Ship, an additional frame displays under the following circumstances:
• Enter FIFO during Ship Transaction is Yes in Kanban Control.
• Source Type in Kanban Master Maintenance is set to Process, and Use FIFO is Yes.
• A series of FIFO processes is defined in Kanban Master Maintenance.
The system displays the ID of the current process. You can accept this value or change it to another valid FIFO process associated with the kanban loop.
