• Key Concepts: 
  Reporting Point Kanban is a component of the SAP Production Planning (PP) module. It is used to manage the production process by controlling the flow of materials and components from suppliers to production lines. It is based on the Kanban system, which is a pull-based inventory control system that uses visual signals to trigger the replenishment of materials. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The Reporting Point Kanban component allows users to set up and manage Kanban cards, which are used to signal when materials need to be replenished. The cards are triggered when the quantity of materials in a certain location falls below a predetermined level. The cards are then sent to suppliers, who will then replenish the materials. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up the Reporting Point Kanban component, it is important to ensure that the predetermined levels for triggering the cards are set correctly. This will ensure that materials are replenished in a timely manner and that production lines do not run out of materials.
