Canceling the Backflush - SAP Documentation

Use

In general, you cancel production backflushes in the APO system by entering the quantity that has already been backflushed as a negative value. Goods movements and production activities are determined again for the negative quantity entered. By doing this, you can reset production backflushes.

Cancel with Reference

If you want to cancel a particular production backflush, that you have previously created, use function Cancellation with Reference . Using this method, you can cancel production backflushes with variances as well as production backflushes without variances. If you want to cancel a production backflush with a variance that you have created, the system cancels exactly those production activities and goods movements that were originally created.

Resetting the Backflush Status

It can be the case in a production process that goods movements or activities have already been created for a particular order, even if no backflushes with quantities have been created for this order.

If all quantities that have previously been created are cancelled for an order, the status of the activities can be reset. If you reset all reporting points, the status of the entire order is reset. This order can now be completely deleted.

If an order is partially or finally backflushed, it cannot be deleted.

Using function Reset Status of the Backflush function you can reset both the status of the activities as well as the status of the order.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

Note that you can only use these functions for make-to-order production and sales-order-related production. You can only use the functions if you specify a planned order or a sales order with order item and logical system.

Prerequisites

If you want to use function Reset Backflush Status, you must have maintained your backflush profile so that this field appears on the interface. For further information, see Define and Preconfigure Profile

Features

To correct a posted backflush with an error, create the backflush again as a negative quantity. It is not necessary to completely cancel the created quantity; you can also create a difference quantity

By entering a negative quantity, the production activities and goods movements are determined again, without reference to backflushes that have already been created. If, for example, variances for goods movements have been posted for an order that has already been created, those goods movements that have not been created will be reversed by a cancelation backflush with the same quantity. By doing this, costs or goods movements can exist, even though the backflushed quantity is 0. In order to reset the created data from previously posted backflushes exactly, use function Cancellation with Reference.

Even if the quantity previously created is canceled completely, the corresponding order or activity remains partially backflushed , as the system cannot automatically detect that a backflushed quantity of 0 is the same as not backflushed . It is therefore possible that production activities will be incurred, without a quantity being backflushed.

To reset the status of the activity to not backflushed¸ select backflush type Reset Backflush Status.
