Another code to check is the Location Usage code in the Location Master. We have had sudden changes in backflush behavior when one or two locations are set other than "2". That code works for us - but is not universal; the proper code depends on the setting of various other codes.

That sounds like us. We have a blank location in warehouse 'AA' and after the finish product is assembled all components should backflush from that blank location in 'AA'. But a couple weeks ago I got a call that items started backflushing (CI) from other locations in that warehouse and we don't remember making any changes to our setup but I'm sure there is a reason but haven't firgured out why these certain parts backflushed from locations other than the blank location. The location on the Finished Product shop orders is blank but as I typing this email, I just checked the shop order and the operation code may be the problem. Hmmm.
Thanks for the feedback!

Lorenzo,
If there are are no defaults or overrides in your data it will backflush from the shop order warehouse and the first location in that warehouse. Some people create that first location specifically for this purpose - for example location 'A'. I have seen several that consolidate all the backflushing to the one location. They will let it go negative and then periodically top it up either to zero or what they expect to consume with the order backlog. To select a specific location such as a workcenter or cell you can enter that location on the first operation in that items routing.

Backflushing in LX can be controlled by the following options:
SFC100 - Routing Operation by Warehouse and Location
JIT110 - JIT Override Location
