Subject: RE: [BPCS-L] Backflushing Formula

The bypass WIP tracking controls whether the item being completed adds
to inventory, not so much whether the backflushing of components occurs.
If the component is in the standard BoM, then BPCS copies that into the
FMA to control backflushing when the shop order is created.  If the item
is added to the shop order manually in SFC500 then the must single issue
flag in the item master controls if that component gets backflushed.
This is a serious pain in a multi facility environment where some plants
backflush and some do not.  I think the flag in the facility master (CIC
for the component overrides this setting) determines whether you can
backflush from multiple warehouses in the facility or only the warehouse
in which the shop order is cut.  We use SFC650 and backflush, generating
the CI transactions.  Lot controlled components must be hard allocated
to the shop order or it won't backflush.
We're on 6.1, not sure what release you are on.

The Bill of material has a flag "Must Issue"  if this is a "Y" you can
not 
backflush.

Facility Planning has a field WIP Tracking   if this is a "1" means do
not 
backflush.

Item Master had a Bypass Wip Tracking flag.

In the Facility maintenance SYS190   The Facility has a Backflush flag.


Most of these flags are defaulted to allow backflush.     If you
backflush 
using Inventory transaction M or J items must be allocated before 
backflush will occur.

[BPCS-L] Backflushing Formula






What is the formula or the things to check to determine if an item will 
back flush or not. I know I can look for certain transactions like 'CI' 
but I was wondering if there was an item that was not back-flushing what

are the basic things I should check? Basically I would like to know what

fields and flags I should update to tell an item to back-flush or not to

back-flush. If it is to complex to type then I understand, just figure I

would throw this out there while I am doing research.
 
 
Thanks in advance.
