Implementing KANBAN-WM

[former_member202094]

Hi Gurus,

we are implementing KANBAN with WM for VERP materials in the pharmacology factory. We actived the replenishment strategy 0006 (for WM) and created a supply area, but SAP didn´t let us use the PK01 to create a new control cycle. System obligated us to inform the storing position for that material/plant/supply area.

Nevertheless, we also could´n use the PLK1 because in that transaction we could´n find where fulfill the replenishment strategy. Our solution was to create a new storage location (without WM) and then create all the KANBAN data for this new stor. loc. and then we trigger the NT/OT for the stor. loc. with WM.

My questions are:

1. There any other way to active Event-driven KANBAN-WM using the storage location with WM?

2. What is this storing position field in the PK01 and how can I fill it correctly?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Dear Felipe,

Answers to your question:

.1. There any other way to active Event-driven KANBAN-WM using the storage location with WM?

> It is easily possible to have a event driven KANBAN u2013WM using the storage location with WM.

The perquisites are

1. Storage location should be WM managed.

2. Define the supply are u2013 transaction PK05- new entries-enter plant-supply area( enter as per your business requirement)-storage location- responsible to MRP controller u2013 automatic unloading point / unloading point.- Maintained the address for supply area.

3. Define the strategy in a given path as per your business requirement u2013 you have to choose proper movement type.

4. SPRO-production-KANBAN-Replenishment strategy-define in-house production strategy.

5. SPRO-production-KANBAN-Replenishment strategy-define external procurement strategy.

6. SPRO-production-KANBAN-Replenishment strategy-define stock transfer strategy.

7. PK01-create control cycle u2013use the production supply area/plant/storage location/ assign any one of the above strategy as per your requirement.

2. What is this storing position field in the PK01 and how can I fill it correctly?

Hope it will help to configure KANBAN process, if you have any further doubts pl write back , we are having KANBAN process for internal WH movements.

Thanks

Hi Ompra,

thanks for your answer.

this storage location is in WM? Where do I define it? because when I try to create a supply area for WM it always ask me to fill this field but any entry is accept.

Thanks again,

HI Felipe,

I am not getting what exactly you want to ask, while creating supply area following things need to enter.

1 . plant

2.supply area u2013 enter whatever u want

3.storage location : source

4.responsible ( MRP controller)

While creating control cycle : PK01

1. material

2. plant

3. supply area ( which is defined in a earlier step)

4. IN STOCK TRANSFER Tab- stock transfer details ( spro-production-replenishment strategy)

5. Storage loc u2013 destination ( should be different then the source)

Material should be extended to both storage loc.

Pl let me know if required any further info.

Thanx

Hi Ompra,

PK01, I insert Material, Plant and SUpply Area.

Then it brings another fields. Right below Supply Area, it brings the field STORING POSITION. There´s no match code, and all the data I input there it shows an error message asking for this Storing Position. It´s a mandatory field and I don´t know what should I put in it.

Dear Felipe,

Storing position is a not a mandatory field in our case & even in SAP std. if I put my name in that field then also it is accepting.

In your case , user exist or some development may happen hence it is asking ,pl ask your abap team member to debug and find out what is a issue in your case.
