Documentation

Definition

Specifies the nature of the number assignment for new kanban containers.

Use

If new kanbans are to be added to a control cycle during the checking of the kanban calculation proposal, the system must assign numbers to these new kanbans.

You can choose between the following options:

• Whether new item numbers assigned are always to be higher than the highest existing item number
• Whether any existing gaps in the numbers are to be closed

Dependencies

Example

Assume that you have a control cycle with the kanbans 001, 002, and 003, and you have in the meantime deleted kanban 002. A new kanban is now to be added to the control cycle. Depending on the chosen setting, this can have either the number 004 or the number 002.
