Pull Loop Size

This is the size of the loop used to calculate the number of signals.

Standard Pack

The standard number of parts per container.

Pull Signal Email Address

The address for the e-mail notice sent when kanban signals are either set up for the first time or replenished.

Lead Time in Days

Enter the number of days it should take to receive these parts from your supplier. The lead time is the interval of time between the issuance of the pull signal and the date the parts are considered due. The lead time is used in combination with the ship frequency value to determine the due date.

Ship Frequency (Daily/Codes)

If the flag Plan Daily Quantities? box is checked within Repetitive Purchasing (TRANS4M), then the days of the week will appear for daily planning. Check the boxes for the days you receive this part. If the Plan Daily Quantities? box is left unchecked, then you must select the Ship Frequency Code that applies to this kanban part. Select the Ship Frequency Code from the drop-down list.

Your entry for this field will be used in combination with the lead time to determine the due date. For example, if the lead time sets the due date as a Tuesday, but you only receive this part on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, then the due date would be automatically adjusted to the next receipt date (Wednesday).
