Carrying Out the Mandatory Reporting Point Backflush 
Prerequisites
In Customizing, you must set the mandatory reporting point backflush.
Procedure
In the initial screen for backflushing, select the RP backflush indicator. In the Reporting point field enter the reporting point for which you want to carry out the backflush. If you do not enter a reporting point, the system lists all the existing reporting points. Select a reporting point.
If you want to backflush assembly scrap at a reporting point, choose Scrap.
- Using the mandatory reporting point backflush, you can backflush assembly scrap at exactly one reporting point. The system calculates the yield for the reporting point you specified and backflushes these components and the scrap. You can only carry out the backflush for the current reporting point.
- In the assembly backflush, you can also backflush component scrap at the reporting point. The system then does not post the specified quantity as assembly scrap but as excess component consumption. The system also posts the production activities for the assembly of the components. You select this indicator if the components required for the production of the assembly at the current workstep have been damaged.
- You now have various options:
- Choose Post with correction to correct the component data or the actual data. (

Choose Details to change particular settings. You can set various indicators, depending on whether you want to post ordering costs or you want to post the goods receipt to another stock type.
Result
The reporting point backflush creates a document log with the following individual documents:
- Reporting point document for the successfully carried out goods issue postings for the components.
- If necessary, postprocessing documents for the unsuccessful goods issue postings.
Backflushing with Reporting Points:
The simplest form of a backflush with mandatory reporting points: At each reporting point, the system backflushes a yield of 1. After posting the goods receipt, the system resets the reporting point quantities to 0.
You receive four postings and, therefore, four document log documents: One final backflush and one reporting point backflush.
Scrap at reporting point 30:
At reporting points 10 and 20, the system backflushes a yield of 1 for a material. Between the reporting points 20 and 30 (that is at reporting point 30), the material becomes scrap.
You receive three backflushes: Two reporting point backflushes and one scrap backflush.
