Overview
The Kanban method for controlling production and material flow is based on the actual stock quantity in production. Material that is required on a regular basis is continually provided in small quan-
tities into production. With Kanban, instead of being pushed through production by higher-level planning, materials are called from the supply source by production at the manufacturing level where
they are needed (pull principle). Replenishment or production of a material is only triggered when a higher production level requires the material. This replenishment is triggered directly in produc-
tion using previously maintained master data.
Kanban replenishment is commonly used in - but not restricted to - repetitive manufacturing environments when a production process requires that the same or similar products are produced over a
certain period at a certain rate per period. The products produced always follow the same sequence through the machines and work centers in production. Routings tend to be simple and do not vary
much.
This document provides a detailed procedure for testing this scope item after solution activation, reflecting the predefined scope of the solution. Each process step, report, or item is covered in its
own section, providing the system interactions (test steps) in a table view. Steps that are not in scope of the process but are needed for testing are marked accordingly. Project-specific steps must be
added.
Note Values in this test script (decimal notation, date formats, and so on) are presented in U.S. standard notation. If your test system is set up to use a different notation, enter values as appropri-
ate.
This section summarizes all the prerequisites for conducting the test in terms of systems, users, master data, organizational data, other test data and business conditions.
System Details
System Accessible via SAP Fiori launchpad. Your system administrator provides you with the URL to access the various apps assigned to your role.
2.2 Roles
Assign the following business roles to your individual test users. Alternatively, if available, you can create business roles using the following spaces with pages and predefined apps for the SAP Fiori
launchpad and assign the business roles to your individual test users.
Note These roles or spaces are examples provided by SAP. You can use them as templates to create your own roles or spaces.

This section describes test procedures for each process step that belongs to this scope item.
Purpose
You can perform the automatic Kanban calculation. The system calculates on the basis of existing requirements and your specified calculation parameters, either the number of Kanban containers
(cards) that are to circulate in a control cycle or the quantity of material to be procured per Kanban container.
With the number of Kanban containers and the quantity of material per container, the material circulation and the stock of material in the control cycle are defined. To ensure the lowest possible
stock of material while simultaneously achieving a secure material supply, the setting of these two values must be optimized. Because the requirement situation often fluctuates considerably in many
industries, it is necessary to check and adjust these values with the automatic Kanban calculation on a regular basis.
In this scenario, you precalculate the number of Kanbans you need in a specific period (month) for material RM233-4.
Prerequisites
The Kanban control cycle for material RM233-4 is maintained and independent requirements exist.
Test Administration
Business Role(s): Responsibility: <State the Service Provider, Customer or Joint Service Provider and Customer>
Planned Independent Requirements (PIRs) are used to perform demand management functions. A planned independent requirement contains one planned quantity and one date, or a number of
planned independent requirements schedule lines, that is, splitting one planned quantity according to dates.
Note Instead of creating a single requirement, sometimes a requirement plan that includes one or more planned independent requirements can be maintained for mass processing. In this case, the
requirements are grouped and maintained under a requirement plan number.

Purpose
In this step, you set an available Kanban to EMPTY to trigger the external procurement of RM233-4.
Prerequisite
Procedure
It is possible to change Kanban Container's status using different Fiori apps. You may choose one of them to execute the task in this step (set to EMPTY) and the subsequent steps (for example, set to
Full) where applicable. Here we provide two options for you, you can choose either one of them.

In this step, you precalculate the Kanbans you need for the next period (month).
The Kanban control cycle for material RM233-4 is created and dependent requirements for material RM233-4 exist.
Note If you want to specify other requirement types to be taken into account in the kanban calculation in addition to the dependent requirements that are already assigned to a production supply
area (PSA), you can use the app Distribution for Kanban Calculation (PKDIS).
Note If predictive material and resource planning (pMRP) functionality is enabled, it allows to calculate dependent PIRs for Kanban materials that are non-MRP relevant. For more information,

In event-driven Kanban, material provision is not based on a predefined number of Kanbans or a predefined Kanban quantity. Instead, it is based on actual material consumption. The material is not
continually provided and replenished at a supply area. It is only replenished when specifically requested. In this case, the material is procured externally with purchase orders.

fered in the search function.
Waiting – 1 Indicates that although the material has been consumed, the supply source is not yet to supply any more of it. This status is also set if a new Kanban Container has been created.
If a new Kanban Container has been included in the control cycle and no replenishment has yet been triggered, it has the status "Waiting" and can then be set to "Empty" by the demand source (con-
sumer).
In Process – 3 / The statuses "In Process" and "In Transit" are set by the supply source (supplier) to inform the demand source (consumer) that the Kanban Containers are either being processed or are in transit.
In Transit – 4 If you use Kanban Containers with purchase orders, the status of a Kanban Container is automatically set to IN TRANSPORT if an inbound delivery has been generated for the order.
Full – 5 The status "Full" is assigned by the demand source (consumer) upon receipt of the container or if the goods receipt has been posted for the kanban. Exception: Decoupling of Status Change and Goods
Receipt Posting.
In Use -6 The status "In Use" is set by the demand source to inform the supply source which Kanban Containers are currently being emptied. (This status can only be set on the kanban board.)
Error – 9 The status "Error" is set only by the system. It is set if an error occurs during the processing of a Kanban Container. This may happen, for instance, if a Kanban Container is set to "Empty" and a purchase
order is simultaneously to be created. If the desired vendor is invalid at this time, it does not make sense to resolve the situation in dialog mode here. The status of the Kanban Container is then set to "Er-
ror" with an appropriate system message.
If you have specified in Customizing for Kanban that only an error message is to be issued when a certain error occurs, the kanban status is not set to "Error". For more information, see: Error Handling.
Empty – 2 The status "Empty" is set by the demand source (consumer) when the kanban quantity has been consumed. Depending on the replenishment strategy, this immediately triggers replenishment.
