KANBAN is a planning process where production itself will take care of planning.

In simple terms KANBAN is a card which has the details about the DEMAND source, Supply source, Quantity, Recieving location Etc.

IT is controlled through Control cycle where you will maintain the type of KANBAN, Replenishment strategy(Example; INHOUSE, EXTernal sto etc)

the replenishment is controlled via KANBAN Status. if EMPTY then it willl trigger replenishment and once recieved it will be set to FULL. when in use it will be in INUSE status.

there are four types of KANBAN IN SAP

1. Classic KANBAN

2. KANBAN with Quantity Signal

3. One-Card KANBAN

4. Event-Driven KANBAN

1.You have to create control cycle for materials which you want to use in KANBAN. Define the Supply area,Storage BIn,No of KANBAN(containers),Capacity of KANBAN etc in the Control cycle.

2.You have to create Replenishment strategies External,Internal and stock transfer procurements

3.Define Number Ranges for KANBAN

4.Maintain Supply areas in customization and assign it on the material master

MRP-2 view - Default supply area
