Material that is needed for a manufacturing order can either be issued manually or automatically.
Note: The status of the manufacturing order must be at least 10 before issuing of material can be started. The status must be 20 if the order type requires printing of shop floor documents before the material issue.
During the reporting of material issue against a manufacturing order, the actual cost calculation runs cumulatively until all issues of material for the manufacturing order are ready. You can track the material’s cost development for a specific manufacturing order during production and compare it to the pre-calculated values in the Manufacturing order enquiry, Product Costing.
The types of items that can be issued manually are displayed below:

Note: Backflushed items are issued automatically. See Backflushing below for more information.
Backflushing
Items that are defined as backflushed are issued automatically. The system calculates the material that has been issued during operation reporting or reception from manufacturing orders. The quantity being backflushed can be equal to or less than the quantity on the manufacturing order. The types of items that can be issued automatically are displayed below:
Flowchart
The following fields control if the item is backflushed:
- Floor stock code must be set to 1 in the Item file for the component. The floor stock code can also be changed individually on each manufacturing order material line.
- Either Backflushing when delivery to stock or Backflush material at operation report must be set to YES in the Manufacturing order type table. Both these fields cannot be set to YES.
Note: If Backflush at first reporting is set to YES for the manufacturing order type, the material will be backflushed when the first operation or reception reporting is done.
Note: If the item is defined as a location or batch item the Backflush location/batch item field must also be set to YES.
For information about how to report material that is delivered to stock, see About receiving manufactured items. For information about how to report quantity on operations, see About manufacturing order operation reporting.
Component locations
If DC1 Warehouse Management is installed and activated, the manufactured items might be stored in component locations that can be connected to specific work centres. If this is the case, the component location will be suggested as pick location when material is issued for the manufacturing order.
