Assign Tracked Backflush Components
Explanation
This activity is used to define the tracked parts to be backflushed at purchase
order receipt. Backflush is the automatic issue of the component parts from
a special backflush location (to the supplier), upon arrival registration of
the main part. This activity is required for serial component parts, and is
optional for lot/batch-tracked parts. If you do not assign any lot/batch number
to the components, the first available lot/batch will be issued.
Prerequisites
- Backflush must have been made available for at least one component line,
pertaining to the purchase order line being received.
- The components to be backflushed must be either serial or lot/batch-tracked
parts.
System Effects
- The components specified on the component part (or supplier material)
lines will be automatically issued through backflush.
- It will be possible to complete arrival registration of the main/top
part.
