Without additional assumptions about the distribution of the data, the mannwhitney and kruskal wallis tests do not test hypotheses about the group medians. Using the kruskalwallis test, we can decide whether the population distributions are identical without assuming them to follow the normal distribution example. One issue is that kw looks at the data in all groups simultaneously, whereas presumably the software in the ops. If you have to perform the comparison between multiple groups, but you can not run a anova for multiple comparisons because the groups do not follow a normal distribution, you can use the kruskal wallis test, which can be applied when you can not make the assumption that the groups follow a gaussian distribution. In general, if you use an omnibus test, such as an anova f test or a kruskal wallis h test, it is illogical and poor practice to conduct pairwise comparisons when you fail to reject the null hypothesis on the omnibus test.
