In SAP S/4HANA, the Kanban process links supply and demand sources via thecontrol cycle(transaction PKMC). Required information includes:

Replenishment strategy(C): In the control cycle (PKMC, field: Replenishment Strategy), you define how replenishment occurs (e.g., "0001" for in-house production, "0003" for external procurement, "0002" for stock transfer). This strategy specifies the supply source (e.g., production, vendor) and how it meets demand at the Kanban bin.

Production supply area(D): The PSA (defined in Customizing, transaction PK05, and assigned in PKMC) represents the demand source—where the material is consumed (e.g., a specific production line). It connects the Kanban bin to the supply source (e.g., storage location or work center).

Routing(A) (CA21) details operations for production but isn’t directly maintained in the control cycle—it’s referenced via the production version.Work Center(B) (CR02) is linked indirectly via the PSA or production version, not a direct control cycle field. This is per SAP’s Kanban configuration.

To enable capacity availability checks for production orders in SAP S/4HANA, specific settings ensure the system evaluates work center capacity:

The Relevant for Finite Scheduling indicator must be set(A): In the work center (transaction CR02, Capacity tab, field: Relevant to Finite Scheduling), this indicator must be activated. It ensures the system considers capacity limits during scheduling and availability checks, treating the work center as finite rather than infinite.

An overall profile must be assigned in the checking control(D): In Customizing (Production > Shop Floor Control > Operations > Capacity Planning > Define Checking Control), the checking control links the order type and plant to an overall profile (e.g., SAPSFCG013). This profile (defined in Capacity Planning Customizing) specifies how capacity is checked(e.g., scope, tolerances) during order release or creation.

The scope of check(B) is part of the overall profile, not a separate setting in this context.A checking rule in work centers(C) applies to material availability or ATP checks, not capacity checks, which rely on the capacity profile and finite scheduling settings. This is detailed in SAP’s capacity planning documentation.

In SAP S/4HANA Advanced Planning (PP/DS),peggingis a key concept that links supply (receipts) to demand (issues) across the production structure. It is defined as:

An evaluation that is ordered according to the bill-of-material structure of all related products and represents the relationship between the receipt and the issue elements(A): Pegging (visible in /SAPAPO/RRP3 or Product View) assigns receipt elements (e.g.,planned orders, stock) to issue elements (e.g., sales orders, dependent requirements) based on the BOM hierarchy. It follows the BOM structure (top-down or bottom-up) to ensure each demand is covered by a specific supply, maintaining traceability and sequence (e.g., fixed or dynamic pegging).

Option B (overstock situations) relates to stock analysis, not pegging’s core purpose. Option C (network structure) is inaccurate—pegging uses BOM, not a network, and focuses on assignment, not just coverage. Option D (shortages) is a result of planning, not pegging’s definition, which is about linking, not identifying gaps. This aligns with SAP’s PP/DS pegging documentation.
