Just-In-Time Supply to Customer (2EM)

Just-In-Time Supply to Customer (2EM)

The process starts with receiving Just-In-Time (JIT) calls from customers. 

JIT calls are sent via an EDI integration and contain the component details with the requirements date and time. The material planner (JIT supply) monitors and manages the JIT calls. The production planner releases production-relevant component group materials or package units for production for summarized and sequenced JIT calls respectively.

The production operator then confirms the production of the components. The production supervisor reprocesses failed stocks.

The shipping specialist (JIT supply) creates deliveries that reflect the status accordingly. Advanced shipping notifications are sent via EDI to the OEM. The shipping specialist and material planner can create handling units as well.

After picking and posting of goods issue, the JIT call status is updated. Optionally, for summarized JIT calls, picking and post goods issue can be done in Extended Warehouse Management. 

After the billing is created, the JIT call is updated to completed status.
