Check Kanban Calculation Result
Application component: KANBAN
App type: SAP GUI
Scope items: Material Replenishment with Kanban - External Procurement
Description:   You can use the Check Proposal function (Check Kanban Calculation Result app) to choose the control cycles you wish to check. The system then creates a result list. After checking, you can adopt the results. 
Key features:   Result List   The result list shows the following actual data for each control cycle:     The current number of kanban containers in the control cycle, including locked containers     The current number of kanban containers that are not locked     The current kanban quantity     The following data is displayed as the result of the kanban calculation:     Date of next change of a kanban control cycle   This is the next date on which the change proposals should be adopted. This is the date on which the current number of kanban containers or the kanban quantity is no longer sufficient or is too large.    Kanban quantity or number of kanban containers   Depending on the calculation type, the calculated kanban quantity or the calculated number of kanban containers is shown as the proposal. The system also shows the calculated minimum number/minimum quantity, or the maximum number/maximum quantity. The minimum or maximum quantity/number results from the minimum or maximum requirement based on the evaluation period.  Note  The following must be taken into account for the calculation of the number of kanban containers:  If the calculation yields a smoothed dependent requirement quantity > 0, the system proposes at least two kanban containers.   If the calculation yields a smoothed dependent requirement quantity of 0, the system proposes 0 kanban containers. When the proposal is adopted, existing kanban containers are locked and may be deleted. At least two locked kanban containers remain in the control cycle, however.     For the calculation of the kanban quantity, the following must be taken into account:  If a smoothed dependent requirement quantity of 0 results, the quantity 1 is adopted in the control cycle.        Results for the further calculation parameters   If you have defined further calculation parameters, the system calculates the proportion which results from the parameter for each of these parameters. For more information, see Calculation of Proportions for Individual Parameters.    Trigger Point   In the result list, the value for the trigger point currently set for the control cycle is displayed in the Trigger Point field. The value determined in the last kanban calculation is shown in the  Next Trigger Point field. You can adopt this value. See also: Capacity-Based Kanban Calculation in Case of In-House Production.        Adoption of New Values   The following calculation results are proposed for adoption:     New No. of Kanbans   This field shows the number of kanban containers that the control cycle is to contain in future. Here you can enter manually the number of kanban containers that the control cycle is to contain in future. However, you can also use the Adopt function to adopt values from the Number Next Change, Maximum Number, or Minimum Number columns.   When you save, the control cycle is changed accordingly through the creation, deletion, locking, or unlocking of kanban containers.    New Quantity per Kanban  This field shows the quantity per kanban container that each container in the control cycle is to contain in future.   You can use the Adopt function to adopt values from the Quantity Next Change, Maximum Quantity, or Minimum Quantity columns.   When you save, the control cycle is changed accordingly in that the quantity per kanban container is set to the new value.   The field is only ready to accept input if you have specified in the control cycle that the quantity per kanban container is to be calculated.     New Trigger Point   This field shows the new value that the trigger point is to have in the control cycle in future.  Note  The field is only ready to accept input if you have specified in the control cycle that the number of kanban containers is to be calculated and the prerequisites for the capacity-based kanban calculation in case of in-house production are satisfied.   Here you can enter the new value for the trigger point manually.  However, you can also use the function Edit  Adopt  Trigger Point to adopt the value from the last kanban calculation.      Detail Screen for Control Cycle  You can invoke a detail screen for each control cycle. This detail screen gives you a good overview of all calculated values. Position the cursor in the line of the control cycle and choose Goto  Detail Calculation, or choose the Detail Calculation pushbutton.    Change or Display Control Cycle  You can branch to the control cycle with either Display or Change. To do so, choose Goto  Display Control Cycle or Change Control Cycle.
