Documentation

Definition

Specifies the sequence in which the system is to unlock locked kanban containers.

Use

If further kanban containers are to be added to a control cycle during the checking of the kanban calculation proposal and this control cycle has locked kanbans, the latter are first unlocked before the system creates new containers.

You can specify which kanbans are to be unlocked first. This is relevant in the case that not all kanbans are unlocked. Those that remain locked may subsequently be deleted preferentially.

You have the following options:

  • First unlock kanbans with a low status

    If you choose this option, the system first unlocks kanbans with a low status. In this way, the remaining kanbans acquire the status WAITING more quickly. As a result, kanbans that are not needed are removed from circulation as quickly as possible.

  • First unlock kanbans with a low kanban item number

    If you choose this option, kanbans with a low item number are unlocked first. In this way, the preference is that kanbans with a high number remain locked and may thus be deleted before others. This setting contributes toward achieving a cohesive number range.
