I am trying to find a way within SAP to have Kanban trigger and create a PO for a different part number.
We consume Part A, but Part A first comes in as Part B, then it is painted in-house which makes it Part A.
We would like to set Kanban up that when our bin of Part A is consumed Part B is automatically ordered via electronic PO.
Once Part B is received in and put away that triggers paint to paint it. Since it is a unique color they only paint when they see parts sitting in the queue area; however we only want "x" number of painted parts on the assembly line.
Currently we have Kanban on Part A. Once the bin is empty a printout is sent to purchasing's printer, purchasing then takes the piece of paper and creates a PO to order Part B. As you can see that is wasteful and not effective.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
