Kanban replenishment strategy In-House Production using the control type Processing with Planned Orders and Cost Collector for goods receipt from repetitive manufacturing directly to the PSA bin
For this blog, Kanban Inhouse ‘0006’ Replenishment strategy has been taken.
Step 1:Kanban to empty →creation of production order
System will create a Production order emptying Kanban Card,

Step 2: Confirmation and GR of prod. order →Kanban to full
On successful Kanban confirmation, Card signal changes from Empty to Full.
System created a material document associated with Production order.
Production Order Completed.

Warehouse Task created & Confirmed automatically.
Customization Involved.
Effects on Existing Data

Hello Foued,
There are 3 types of replenishment strategies which is available in kanban.
- kanban with Stock Transfer Strategies: This is what you are describing when scanning the kanban bar code, generates a document, either WT in 2020/1909, or outbound delivery prior to 2020/1909.
- kanban with External Procurement Strategies: This is used when emptying card directly creates Purchase order to vendor, and components are directly replenishment to PSA from vendor directly.
- Kaban with In-House Production Strategies: The current blog explains this scenario which drives the manufacturing of sub-assemblies or its higher assemblies getting triggered by emptying the Kanban card, meaning the signal of card drives the production process.
Best regards

Thank you for the document. However, I didn’t figure out why you have used production order to post the good movment. Normally, when you set the kanban to empty, you need a document to post the replenishment to the PSA. Could you please explain the business process behind using the production order?
