The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

When you created the M1 transaction and attempted to use if for backflushing by chasing the BOM and not using the shop order as the vehicle for transacting the inventory movement, BPCS will not function as you would like. SFC500 (shop order create) has the logic built in to review the BOM and if at the time of shop order release the QOH of the phantom is below the requirements of the components for the material allocations, then the system will use the logic and chase the BOM and allocate the components for the phantom to the shop order. INV500 does not have the logic built in to look for the components of the phantom. This is still true in the latest version of the software.

Subject: Re: [BPCS-L] Backflushing and Phantoms
Is the "Multiple Issue" flag on the "M1" transaction code set to 'Y'.
Yes, I checked it and it is set to 'Y'. It backflushes components just
fine. In fact, it backflushes the phantoms but it shouldn't--it should
blow through the phantom part number and backflush the components of the
phantoms.
