With this feature, synchronous goods receipt with the Kanban replenishment strategy In-House can be posted with Production using the control type ”Working with Production Orders for goods receipt from discrete manufacturing directly to the bin of the production supply area (PSA).
Diagram from SAP document to understand synchronous goods movement.

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.
Stock Updated.
Warehouse Task created & Confirmed automatically.
Customization Involved.
Effects on Existing Data
The system determines the goods receipt bin from the Kanban control cycle.
Effects on Customizing
Activate synchronous goods receipt in the production scheduling profile assigned to the Kanban material:
-
In Customizing for Production under
- Set up several options for control of ‘Automatic Warehouse Task Creation” at storage type level or WPT level. Also determination of WPT with synchronous posting without document type and Item type
Thanks for reading through, I would write more stuff on EWM Manufacturing integration on S/4 HANA 2020 Embedded EWM.
Thanks to author Shailesh Mishra
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?

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
