Confirmation of Material Used
Use
You can confirm which materials and how many materials you have used to execute an operation. You can also enter the return of unused material to the warehouse.
The materials used can be as follows:
Unplanned materials
These are materials that were not included for the operation in the planning of the order, but which were required to execute it.
Planned materials
These are materials that were planned for the operation in the order, withdrawn from stock and used in executing the operation. These materials can be indicated in the order as backflushed (see below) by the planner.
Backflushing
Often materials, which are low-value, small parts but are nevertheless managed in inventory management, are planned for orders. To avoid making a separate posting for withdrawal for each of these materials, the planner has the option in the order of marking such materials as backflushed. This has the following effects:
Display and change functions for overall completion confirmation and collective time confirmation :
Backflushed materials arenot displayed. They cannot be changed by the person making the confirmation.
Display and change functions for individual time confirmation :
Backflushed materials aredisplayedin the material overview, even if the parameter
All components
has not been set. They can be changed by the person making the confirmation.
For backflushed materials, a goods withdrawal is posted automatically after the first partial confirmation of the operation, for which you have scheduled.
Backflushed materials are also cancelled in the case of a cancellation of a completion confirmation , for which they have been posted as withdrawn.
Integration
When the withdrawal is made, the system automatically creates a goods issue document in Materials Management.
Prerequisites
The material movements possible for an order type are defined in the Customizing for Plant Maintenance.
Planned materials are only displayed in the material list if the necessary setting has been made in your system in the Customizing for Plant Maintenance.
