Can a batch of kanban cards be associated simultaneously to several codes?

Question

Can a minimum batch comprise more than one code?

Answer

In KanbanBOX it is not possible to set a batch that comprises different codes. A batch of kanban cards is associated with a single code and cannot be composed by more items.

Dealing with a batch that comprises more components could lead to having some components that are out of stock waiting for cards of other loops to be released in order to reach the minimum batch.

A solution for this case would be to set the minimum batch on all the involved codes. When the total quantity of the released and/or batching cards is equal to the minimum batch, the supplier can change their status to "In process". This solution leads to an increase of the stocks in the warehouse, since the batch is increased for each code.
