Purchase Order Receipts for Kanban

The system enables you to check in a kanban card from purchase order receipts. The kanban must be a source type 3, two-phase kanban that is checked out.

When you attempt to receive a purchase order through the Purchase Order Receipts program (P4312), the system determines whether the purchase order is generated from a kanban. A check-out process at a specific location within the enterprise initiates kanban records. Thus, the kanban receipt must identify the consuming location to facilitate subsequent movement of the kanban. You enter the purchase order receipt for the kanban and confirm the quantity that was received.

When you approve the receipt, the system updates inventory, creates a receipt record, creates general ledger entries, initiates the check-in transaction, and updates the kanban status to Completed.

When the order quantity is not met, such as when the supplier over ships or under ships, the system updates the purchase order and kanban record, and cancels any remainder.
