Pull Sequences are used to view, update, and define the source of replenishment for a kanban planned item in a kanban location. You can use the Graphical Kanban Workbench to create, move, and delete pull sequences.

   To create pull sequences for items defined on the tree:

1. Select a node detail on the tree.

   The tree hierarchy only displays items that already have pull sequences defined. The replenishment chain displays in the right pane.

2. Select a kanban source type icon from the toolbar, and select a location to place the pull sequence on the right pane canvas See: Workbench Toolbar

   The Location window displays with different fields, depending on your replenishment source:

   • If you select Organization, select the source organization and subinventory. If the organization, subinventory, or item is under locator control, you must also enter a stock locator. See: Assigning a Completion Subinventory and Locator

   • If you select Supplier, you can optionally select the supplier and supplier site. If you do not select a supplier, Oracle Purchasing will choose the supplier based on sourcing rules when it creates a purchase order/blanket release.

   • If you select Subinventory, select the source subinventory, and stock locator if applicable.

     Additional Information: If you choose a subinventory with no locator control - you can specify a locator on the item master, the bill of material, and the source of the pull sequence - but the system uses the locator value for planning only. It is not transacted at the location level.

   • If you select Production, optionally enter the line code.

3. Select the Connector icon to join the objects together to form a replenishment chain. Select the location and drag from the point of supply to the point of use.

   Connect the objects together - starting with the sub-inventory/locator closest to your production. When you create the link, the Pull Sequence window appears. Enter details about the Point of Use and in the Point of Supply. See: Pull Sequence Window .

4. Save your work.
