Synchronous Goods Receipt for Kanban: Kanban for in-house production strategies ‘working with production orders' in S/4 HANA 2020 Embedded EWM

[shailesh_mishra5]

Synchronous Goods Receipt for Kanban:-

With this feature,  synchronous goods receipt with the Kanban replenishment strategy In-House can be posted with Production using the control type ''Working with Production Orders for goods receipt from discrete manufacturing directly to the bin of the production supply area (PSA).

Diagram from SAP document to understand synchronous goods movement.

 

Synchronous goods movements are also supported for the following Kanban strategies:

• 
  

  Summarized JIT call (Kanban) with goods receipt from vendor directly to PSA bin.

  
  


• 
  

  Kanban replenishment strategy In-House Production using the control type Processing with Planned Orders and Cost Collector for goods receipt from repetitive manufacturing directly to the PSA bin

  
  

For this blog, Kanban Inhouse '0006' Replenishment strategy has been taken.

 

Step 1:Kanban to empty →creation of production order

System will create a Production order emptying Kanban Card,

Configure all PP production order process for Auto Order release, synchronous goods posting from production scheduling profile and control cycle. Use SAP standard order type for Kanban PPK1 with Forward scheduling.

 

Step 2: Confirmation and GR of prod. order →Kanban to full

On successful Kanban confirmation, Card signal changes from Empty to Full.

System created a material document associated with Production order.

Production Order Completed.

 

Stock Updated.

Warehouse Task created & Confirmed automatically.

 

Customization Involved.

Effects on Existing Data

The system determines the goods receipt bin from the Kanban control cycle.

Effects on Customizing

 Activate synchronous goods receipt in the production scheduling profile assigned to the Kanban material:

• 
  

  In Customizing for Production under Shop Floor Control  Master Data  Define Production Scheduling Profile for Discrete Manufacturing

  
  


• Set up several options for control of 'Automatic Warehouse Task Creation'' at storage type level or WPT level. Also determination of WPT with synchronous posting without document type and Item type

 

Thanks for reading through, I would write more stuff on EWM Manufacturing integration on S/4 HANA 2020 Embedded EWM.

Thank you for the document. However, I didn’t figure out why you have used production order to post the good movment. Normally, when you set the kanban to empty, you need a document to post the replenishment to the PSA. Could you please explain the business process behind using the production order?

Thank you for the document

Great work, keep it up for the benefit of EWM2020 community.

Hello Foued,

There are 3 types of replenishment strategies which is available in kanban.

• kanban with Stock Transfer Strategies: This is what you are describing when scanning the kanban bar code, generates a document, either WT in 2020/1909, or outbound delivery prior to 2020/1909.
• kanban with External Procurement Strategies: This is used when emptying card directly creates Purchase order to vendor, and components are directly replenishment to PSA from vendor directly.
• Kaban with In-House Production Strategies: The current blog explains this scenario which drives  the manufacturing of sub-assemblies or its higher assemblies getting triggered by emptying the Kanban card, meaning the signal of card drives the production process.

Best regards

Hello Shailesh,

 

Thank you again. Clear 🙂

Hi Mishra,

It is a clear blog to understand options of kanban with Inhouse production strategy.

If possible, can you extend blog with configurations . It would be great to test this scenerio.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Shailesh,

 

For synchronous movement is it necessary to maintain WPT determination? Can it not be determined from 'Control Cycle'?

Hi Shailesh,

To handle external procurement, we've control type 0001 - Work with purchase order & 0007 - Summarized JIT call. Somehow if we configure 0001 then while creating control cycle it is not visible against external procurement. But only control type 0007 are visible this is very strange.

May be control type - 0007 only valid for EWM.

Regards,

Ganesh

Hi Shailesh,

Check the link you shared - It clearly states below two synchronous Kanban.

So for External procurement we do not maintain scheduling profile in material master & in only control type 0007 for external procurement with summarized JIT call we have option 'Post sych to bin' & this option not available for normal control type 0001 with Purchase Order.

  Summarized JIT call (Kanban) with goods receipt from vendor directly to PSA bin

  
  


• 
  

  Kanban replenishment strategy In-House Production using the control type Processing with Planned Orders and Cost Collector for goods receipt from repetitive manufacturing directly to the PSA bin

  
  

Effects on Customizing

You must activate synchronous goods receipt in the production scheduling profile assigned to the kanban material:

• 
  

  In Customizing for Production Planning for Process Industries under Process Order  Master Data  Define Production Scheduling Profile for Process Manufacturing

  
  


• 
  

  In Customizing for Production under Shop Floor Control  Master Data  Define Production Scheduling Profile for Discrete Manufacturing

Hi Shailesh,

 

In In-House scenario shared above once we successfully able to create production order then do will have multiple variant like - sub-assembly available in IM or EWM ?
