RE: Spam:Re: Missing CI transactions

        Thanks, Al - We use SFC650. Backflushing normally works to
backflush the parts identified with the operation reported plus any
operation between that and the previously reported operation.

        The FMA files look fine

We are BPCS 405 CD

When the shop orders are created, the BOM data (MBM file) gets copied to
for what is needed with the shop order (FMA file) which you can look at
via SFC300.
Are you familiar with this, and does the data look normal on the orders
which had the missing transactions?

How do you report your production?
JIT600 INV500 or something else?

We report our labor via JIT600 in which we can have several different
operations on an item.
The labor knows which operation gets the CI deducted because the
operation number is in the BOM.
On occasion there is an error of omission by the engineering staff,
sometimes when we have a new employee there who not know all the
nuances.
If the BOM has a component, in which it has not been specified at which
operation the component is to be consumed (backflushed) then when the
JIT600 processes labor reporting for any given operation, and it looks
up FMA and MBM to see what inventory is to be backflushed for that
operation, no operation will find a match for the components where
engineering neglected to specify that operation, because operation blank
or zero is not a valid operation to report against.

If you report production via INV500 then this is not a problem, because
BPCS consumes all the material needed to make the reported parts made,
irrespective of whether the relevant operations are specified by the
engineering or not.
