RE: Backflushing???

There are really 2 parts to backflushing when reporting production in
SFC650.

1.      Labor - Backflushing labor allows you to report production at a
collectable operation of the route and backflush (or report) labor at
standard at all operations below that until it reaches the next collectable
operation.
2.      Material - Backflushing material happens with the same transaction
as labor, but will relieve the materials soft allocated to the shop order.
(Soft allocation occurs at the time the shop order is created, based on the
BOM structure at that time.)  This reduces the number of material
transactions needed.   

We use backflushing extensively.  If you have more specific questions,
please let me know.  There are issues related to from & to locations,
backflushing past phantoms, how to relieve Kanban items, and having actual
and standard labor hours reported.

Hope this helps.
