Backflush material at operation reporting

Related topics

The material that is connected to the operation will be backflushed at operation reporting if either an approved quantity or a rejected quantity is entered. If reporting on first operation on the order, material without connection to an operation will be handled as connected to the current operation.

The following fields control if the item is backflushed:

  • Floor stock code must be set to 1 in the Item file on the component that is to be backflushed.
  • Backflush material at operation report must be set to YES in the Manufacturing order type table.

    Note: If Backflush at first reporting is set to YES for the manufacturing order type, the material connected to the operation will be fully backflushed (planned quantity) regardless of the reported quantity when the first operation reporting is done.

  • If the item is defined as a location or batch item, Backflush location/batch item must also be set to YES.

For more information about backflushed items, see Backflushing.
