Definition

You use this checkbox to specify that an independent supply source has been assigned to the control cycle.

An independent supply source specifies itself how material replenishment is to be carried out. That is, it specifies independently when the delivery- or production-relevant replenishment element is to be created.

Use

If you check the box, the two operations Status Change Set to Empty and Trigger Replenishment are decoupled. In this case, it is not the consumer (demand source) that triggers the replenishment but the supply source. The consumer sets the kanban to "Empty" but no replenishment element is generated and the system automatically sets the kanban to the status "Waiting". The supply source then sets these kanbans to "Empty" on the kanban board, thus generating the replenishment elements. The independent supply source thus specifies the time of replenishment itself.

Note

Usually, the replenishment strategy is defined for the control cycle and is determined automatically when the kanban signal is triggered.
