Warehouse Kanban Supply into Production (3VT)

This scope item allows you to replenish material from your warehouse to production. The process starts with a notification of the empty container status in the system. By setting the Kanban status to EMPTY, the system triggers the creation of a warehouse task. A warehouse operative picks the material from the replenishment storage type, moves it to the production supply area storage bin, and confirms the task in the system. The Kanban container status is automatically set to FULL. If the production supply area is not WM-managed, the stock transfer to the production storage location is executed immediately with the confirmation. This helps to keep the manual posting effort to a minimum.

Second option: On receipt of the material, the demand source can set the Kanban container status to FULL. The warehouse task is immediately confirmed and the stock transfer to the production storage location is triggered accordingly, if required.
