Hi Deepu,

PKMC is checking whether or not the material used within the control Cycle (CC) is foreseen at the storage location assigned to the PSA for MRP planning or not.

This is controlled via a setting within the material master data.

Please check the MRP indicator on the MRP4 tab (choose the storage location assigned to the PSA) of the material master.

Is the MRP indicator set to 1 --> the material can be used for Kanban without MRP forecast planning (PO, scheduling lines, transport order or source list)

Is the MRP indicator set to blank --> the material can be used for Kanban with MRP forecast planning (Kanban Jit Calls, container control MRP)

When you set up a CC PKMC is checking this MRP indicator and just the replenishment strategies alligned to the MRP indicator are shown.

Best regards

Hans

P.S.: I looks like you are actually working in a Kanban project. Please have a look at SAP's standard Kanban training --> SCM350 to get a comprehensive view of the SAP eKanban processes and who to set up these processes within SAP ERP
