Report Kanban Supplier Receipt

Explanation

This activity is used to report purchase order receipt activity in a Kanban circuit, with a Supplier replenish type. You can either report a receipt using IFS/Purchasing, or report a receipt directly against a Kanban card. When reporting against a card, the system performs the purchase order receipt and records the receipts against a Kanban card in an electronic history.

It is possible to report received goods with or without a pre-existing purchase order, depending on the type of the supplier Kanban. The possible supplier Kanban reporting options are:

Visual supplier Kanban receipt with or without a pre-existing purchase order
Electronic supplier Kanban receipt with a pre-existing purchase order

In addition to the manual methods of reporting against a Kanban card, the system provides support for the use of an external device, such as a bar code reader, to enter the information electronically.

Prerequisites

This activity requires the following prerequisites:

A Kanban circuit defined for a part, with a Supplier replenishment source.
If the signal type is Electronic, a released purchase order must exist.
If the signal type is Visual without a purchase order, then the Create Purchase Order for Kanban Receipt check box in the Kanban Circuit window must be selected. If a released purchase order exists, then this check box should not be selected.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the completed items will be received at the supply location of the circuit.
If a Kanban card is identified in this transaction, the system will update the last transaction information so that the card reflects the supplier receipt.
