PO Create - Release

Ultriva Kanban supports a true consumption driven replenishment model. Thus when some material is consumed at the point of use – line side or supermarket or warehouse – an electronic Kanban signal is automatically released to supplier to replenish an equivalent lot size in the defined lead time.

When the signal is released, Ultriva will interface with Oracle to obtain a P.O. number – either a discrete P.O or a line number against a blanket P.O. Ultriva will calculate the required ship date, required receive date and send the same to Oracle for creating this P.O. The goal of this integration is to make this process seamless. Once the P.O number is received from Oracle then Ultriva sends this info to supplier who, if necessary, can acknowledge the receipt of P.O. if the business process mandates the supplier to acknowledge then Ultriva will send the acknowledgement back to Oracle.

As can be seen in the process this Kanban signal then becomes a production instruction at the supplier and waits in the queue during the specified lead time. Ultriva provides option for the supplier to review the P.O and print the same prior to acknowledgement.
