Re: Backflushing

["Bob Tenney" <bobtenney@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chuck, The answer to your question depends on whether you are
manufacturing-to-stock or manufacturing-to-order.

If you are manufacturing-to-stock, the component items in the end item that
you are selling has already been backflushed. COM generates an SA
transaction to reduce the end item's inventory.

If you are manufacturing-to-order, then you have to issue an MO and let IM
do the backflushing.
