Run the Backflush process to automatically make postings against a production order based on preliminary data.
If you have produced a part before, you can often accurately predict the quantities, hours and costs required for the part. To avoid having to manually specify all part issues and all operation and equipment costs, you could, in such cases, let the software make postings automatically based on the preliminary data.
You still have the option of manually making additional entries, for example to record the issue of a high cost-price part of which you have used another quantity than the preliminary quantity.
Note: If the actual usage differs from the preliminary usage, backflushing may have undesirable financial and logistic consequences. The reason for this is that backflushing is based on the assumption that the actual usage is virtually equal to the usage determined in the preliminary costing phase.
When backflushing a production order, the following activities can be performed automatically:
If you are using the Backflush by status process, the statuses of the selected files can be changed automatically once backflushing has been performed.
