Kanban cards are created for an item, subinventory, and locator (optional). They are uniquely identified by a kanban number.  For cards generated from a kanban pull sequence, the number is automatically generated. For manually defined cards, both replenishable and non–replenishable, you can enter an unused kanban number or let the system create the number.

Card Status
Kanban cards are generated with a default Card Status of Active. When you define a card manually, you can initially give it either Active or Hold status.
If the Supply Status is Full, you can temporarily pull a card out of the replenishment chain by changing the Card Status to Hold. You can later change the status back to Active. You can terminate use of a card by changing the Card Status to
Canceled, but you cannot reverse this change. Only Canceled cards can be deleted.

Supply Status
All the following Supply Status codes can be set either manually or automatically.

New The kanban has just been created and is not yet part of the replenishment chain.
Empty The kanban is empty and a replenishment signal has been generated (available only for Inter Org and Supplier source types).
Full The kanban has been replenished.
Wait The kanban is waiting until the minimum order quantity has been met by the aggregation of cards.
In–Process For the Supplier source type, the purchase order has been approved. For the Inter Org  source type, the internal requisition has been approved.

All cards are generated with a status of New. You can switch this status to Empty to trigger a kanban replenishment signal. During initial setup, you can switch the status to Full if you are starting out with a full bin. When you are defining a card manually, you can create a card with a status of Empty, Full, or New.
