Overview of the solution
As you know in SAP KANBAN production process, SAP have provided KANBAN calculation functions, but when you bring those solution to client especially for one of biggest Japan OEM's suppliers, they will unanimously request you to adopt "CYCLE"(サイクル) in KANBAN calculations process for external procurement KANBAN, it is always become biggest challenges which we bring SAP to Japan automotive suppliers, until we have successfully implement our original solutions using S/4 HANA key user extensibility tools.
What is the requirements ?
The supplier during the external procurement planning and execution, they have the common word called as "CYCLE" and defined as "a-b-c", the "a" stands for delivery frequencies defined by unit of measure by Day, for example, if it is delivery by daily basis then the values is 1. the next "b" means the number of picking up times during the "a" period, and last one "c" is delayed picking up times count from delivery KANBAN receipted. for instance if the "CYCLE" defines as "1-4-2" which means procurement execution will performed 4 times in a day and issued returnable KANBAN will retuned as after 2 picking up times to issuers. depends on "CYCLE" definition, it will give number of KANBAN calculation formula as described below.
number of KANBAN = Smoothed Requirements * KANBAN coefficient / Quantities per KANBAN
KANBAN Coefficient = a*(c+1) / b + safety factor
as you see there are huge gaps between SAP standard KANBAN Calculation formula, we are not able to adopt SAP standard KANBAN Calculation logic without "CYCLE" definition in control cycle master as a input fields.
SAP KANBAN Calculation logic please refer below sap help link https://help.sap.com/saphelp_me60/helpdata/en/e7/5fbd534f22b44ce10000000a174cb4/content.htm?no_cache...
Delivered solution in S/4 HANA Using Key-User extensibility Tools
1. Add custom fields a-b-c and safety factor in KANBAN control cycle master.
S/4 HANA have provide very excellent enhancement tools which is key user extensibility approach that is really impressive tools compared classic enhancement methods such as user-exit, BADI before. you can just make few steps in extensibility Fiori then the custom fields which client required will be in PKMC master screen both on Fiori and SAP GUI as well as in control cycle master PKHD table. there are lot of sap blogs posted already you can take reference for implementation if you need .
2. Implemented Calculation formula in user-exit
Conclusion
After above implementation, the standard KANBAN calculation will performed as a client requirement below.
welcome for any comments and questions.
