Backflushing Reporting Points Subsequently

Use

You can execute subsequent postings for reporting points using the mandatory reporting point backflush. In order to post a goods receipt or a scrap quantity to a reporting point, you must have backflushed at all previous reporting points. In the event that you have not done this, it is possible to backflush the previous reporting points subsequently. The system uses the reporting points which have been backflushed to calculate the yield at the reporting points which have not yet been backflushed.

Procedure

In the initial screen for backflushing, choose Reporting point backflush.

Enter a plant and a material.

Specify further selection criteria, if necessary.

Enter the reporting point for which you want to carry out the backflush and choose Backflush RP scrap.

Enter the backflush or scrap quantity.

Choose Details.

Select the field Post RPs subseq.

Choose Continue.

Save your entries.

Result

The system backflushes the quantity you entered to the reporting point, and simultaneously backflushes the previous reporting points.

The material which has already passed through reporting points 10 and 20 on the production line is not backflushed until reporting point 30. The system does not post the goods receipt (1) until you have subsequently posted the previous reporting points.

Subsequent posting

Further examples:

The subsequent posting makes sure that the reporting point quantities at reporting points further down the line remain the same or are reduced. If the quantity already backflushed at previous reporting points is larger than the quantity at the reporting point just posted, the subsequent backflush changes nothing. If the quantity is smaller, the system posts from the last reporting point back to the first, always using the highest backflush quantity as subsequent backflush quantity.

Example 1:

You backflush an additional 200 pieces to reporting point 40.

Reporting point	Qties before backflushing RP40	Qties after backflushing 200 pc at ZP40
10	400	500
20	400	500
30	400	500
40	300	500

The quantities at the other reporting points are only increased by 100 pieces.

Example 2:

You only backflush 50 pieces to reporting point 40.

Reporting point	Qties before backflushing RP40	Qties after backflushing 50 pc at RP40 at RP40
10	400	400
20	400	400
30	400	400
40	300	350

The system does not backflush subsequently at the other reporting points.

Example 3:

You backflush 200 pieces for reporting point 40.

Reporting point	Qties before backflushing RP40	Qties after backflushing 200 pc at RP40 at RP40
10	400	600
20	600	600
30	400	500
40	300	500

Here, the system only backflushes the obligatory 100 pieces at reporting point 30. At reporting point 10, however, it backflushes 200 pieces. This is because 600 pieces had already been backflushed at reporting point 20, which means that these 600 pieces must also have passed through reporting point 10. The system thus always refers to the largest previously backflushed or subsequently backflushed quantity.

If you work with optional reporting point backflushing, you still backflush the rest of the reporting points by selecting Post Rps subseq., but for this procedure it is not absolutely necessary.
