Our PM Plans were setup wrong during implementation and have caused a headache with demand planning.  This is going to be a very large project to clean up.

However, we still want to us Min/Max order points.  However, the demand is throwing off the reorders.

Is there a way to ignore demand and just use the Min/Max just based on what we have on the shelf.

So, I want a part to have a 2/4 min/max.  When we hit 2 on the shelf, initiate a purchase requisition to get back up to 4.  Ignoring all demand out there on work orders, etc.

Could you set up a Kanban circuit set to “Automatic” with a Replensish Source of Supplier & Purchase Requisition? 

 

Automatic re-order point:

Replesish Source:

In your example, you coukd have circuit settings:

No Kanbans = 4

Qty per Kanban = 1

Re-order point = 2

 

You would need to schedule the Kanban reorder point job to run regularly to generate the requisitions.

I am testing the Kanban process in IFS Cloud.  Question on settings and triggers.

I have a part that I have setup on Kanban to reorder once below 2.

I had 2 on hand and available.  

I reserved one part to a maintenance work order so now I have 1 available for use.

However, it did not trigger the Kanban circuit.  Is there a setting I am missing or is this standard?

The hope was the Kanban circuit would look at quantity available for use when calculating so when I reserved the 1 on the work order, it would trigger a requisition for replacement.
