We are using IFS cloud version 23R.1.8. 

Goal to solve: 

I want to set-up a storage at the production line with the most commonly used materials (eg. screws, bolts, washers). I will use real time consumption to decrease the stock-levels at the production storage. Once the level of material is below a certain point I want to automatically get more material from our main storage. Therefore I have set my eyes on using Kanban Circuits to solve this with signal type Automatic (Reorder Point).

Problem:

I have successfully created a Kanban Circuit in our test environment (which has production data), activated it and made a replenishment using “Kanban Reorder Point Request”. A Transport Task (TT) of the needed quantity is created automatically, so far so good.

My problem is that the reserved articles are not placed on a new TT but on a closed TT from 2020. I have tried different locations and get the same issue, but it varies on which existing TT it places the material on. It never creates a new TT which is what I am hoping for. 

I have tried to read up on location set-up, site set-up, consolidation and kanban circuits but can’t find anything useful. 

Set-up:

Replenish Type: Location Group

Help wanted: 

Anyone who has solved a similar problem? Any suggestion to what I should try is gratefully accepted as I am currently stuck.

I got access to try different Site settings (Automatic Consolidation) and when choosing Bin to Bin this solves my problem. It is also possible to do these settings on Warehouse level in Warehouse Navigator with the same effect.

Hello Julia

 

How do you achieve the same result in warehouse navigator? I am facing the same issue, but it seems that setting up a kanban circuit for each part is too time consuming. this Bin to Bin solution seems to be exactly what we need but I don’t have the option for automatic consolidation.

 

with best regards!

Hi! When in Warehouse Navigator you need to click on the warehouse in the tree structure that you want to configure and then under the tab “Transport Task” there is the option of Automatic Consoldation. 

You can also go in to Warehouse Management → Location →Warehouses→”Details” →Warehouse and then under the tab “Transport Task” there is the option of Automatic Consoldation. 

Hope this helps! 

Julia
