You can perform a query to retrieve the Kanban circuits you want to view. Enter information about the replenishment source, replenishment location, demand information, and calculation preferences for each part. The system creates and prints Kanban cards for use on the shop floor as visual replenishment signals. You can use only company-owned stock with Kanban circuits.
