Carrying Out the Backflush for the Sales Order 

  1. In the initial screen for backflushing, select the Make-to-order tab page.
  2. Enter the following data here:
  3. Sales order

    The system uses the sales order to determine the accompanying planned orders:

    If exactly one planned order is assigned, it is recorded in the appropriate field after pressing Enter and the planned order quantity is proposed as the Backflush qty.

    If several planned orders exist for the sales order, the system displays a dialog box after pressing Enter where you can select the appropriate planned order. Then this planned order is recorded in the appropriate field and the planned order quantity is proposed as the Backflush qty.

    If there are no longer any planned orders that exist for the sales order as the quantity has already been produced, but you still want to post a goods receipt (over delivery), the system explodes the BOM valid for the current date.

    Plant

    Enter the plant which you want to use for backflushing.

    Sales order item

    If the sales order contains several materials, you must enter the sales order item as well as the sales order number. In so doing, the material for which the goods receipt is to be posted is automatically determined after selecting Enter and the open planned order quantity is proposed.

    Selection data

    You can also select by planned order and material. Enter the material you want to backflush in the material field.

    The material you want to backflush can - but does not have to - be identical to the material from the sales order. In the inactive field, Mat. sales order, the system enters the completed product that the customer ordered if you entered the sales order number. In the field Material, enter this product or an assembly of this product that you want to backflush.

  4. Enter a backflush quantity.
  5. Choose Post or Post with correction if you want to correct the goods issue for the components.

 

If errors occur in backflushing, you can only create backlogs if you are working with valuated individual customer stock. If you work with non-valuated individual customer stock, you must process the backflushing errors immediately.
