Hello,
We are trying to use electronic Kanbans to schedule and manage in house reported components for the first time. Up until now, we have only used electronic Kanbans for external procurement.
For our scheduling we use a custom built assembly schedule T-Code that only uses planned orders. We do not convert the planned orders into production orders. Once the Kanbans were set up components are being removed from the Kanbans properly as they are backflushing which triggers out planned orders for the items that we are attempting to use Kanbans for and they do show up on on planning T-code. Once that is completed the bin is set to status 2 EMPTY Container empty, with replenishment.
We then scheduled production and they are reported (but reporting is not linked to any specific planned order). If we use MRP type PD or KM the planned orders are removed when our daily MRP run runs and the material is added to a Kanban Bin. But, the bin that was in status 2 EMPTY is now in status 1 WAIT while the reported material gets placed in one of the other Kanbans over filling it.
Is there a setting that I am missing that would cause reporting to eliminated the planned order and add the material into that bin and convert it to style 4 FULL? Does reporting need to be linked to a planned order for this to happen?
Thank you,
Eric
