So I have a question concerning the move quantity on a transport tasks generated from a Kanban Circuit.
We are using scanners to perform these Transport Tasks. The issue is that we are not allowed to move a quantity greater than what is shown on the transport task. We can move less and the kanban system will auto generate the difference the next time it runs (unless we modify the kanban circuit to not do so). However, when we create manual transport tasks (non-kanban), we are allowed to move greater quantities. What makes them function differently? Is there a setting somewhere that we need to make to the Kanban Circuits or Transport Tasks or System to allow move quantities on kanban generated transport tasks to be less restrictive and function more like the manual transport tasks.
Essentially what we are looking for is the ability to use these kanban transport tasks to correctly move parts from the correct lot from one location to another but not be confined to the move quantity that has been calculated.
In our kanban replenishment process, we consider the case quantity of the parts when moving parts from the warehouse to kanban in order to avoid having to open a case and count, but our case quantities are not always consistent. For example some parts may have case quantities of 50, 75, or 100. We tried to use the case quantity for the lot size on the kanban circuit but it doesn’t always work. Many times we need to move a quantity greater than what the transport task is asking for because the case quantity is greater than the move quantity.
