RE: consumable components

The purpose of "backflush" is relieving inventory for the standard BOM
quantity consumed in a production booking.  Production booking should only
be reversed (minus) if a production booking was incorrectly stated, thus
never technically using the BOM items.  In addition, because BOM is not
always accurate to actual quantity, cycle counting is necessary to a certain
degree based upon key materials (ABC).             

If your concern is scrap, you will need to review any relevant scrap
procedures in conjunction with your BOM, and what operation contains the
items you want to scrap.  Remember, S21 allows scrap booking at a non count
point where production booking does not.

Is anyone out there using backflush? How do you treat BOM items like
chemicals when doing minus backflush? Meaning, since chemicals cannot be
reused, they should not be returned to the issuing stockroom when goods are
minus backflushed, and once these are backflushed again, fresh stocks should
be used. Please help. Thanks.
