Report Outside Operation
Explanation
This activity is used to backflush outside operations and automatically process
the purchase order receipt depending on the outside operation backflush type.
This activity can be used as an alternative to the pick list and ship work in
process activities.
If Purchase Order Arrival has been selected as the outside operation
backflush option for a released outside operation, and if the pegged purchase
order line has also been released, it is possible to backflush the ship work
in progress (WIP) to supplier and the purchase order arrival activities.
Note: Outside operation backflush will be used automatically to backflush
the ship work in progress (WIP) to the supplier. Purchase order arrival activities
to report the preceding outside operations on a routing with sequential outside
operations, can be done if the Send To Next Supplier option has been
enabled for the preceding outside operation. For more details about the
Send To Next Supplier option, refer to the Subcontracting topic description

on operations that already have a completed quantity plus bypass
quantity that is equal to or greater than the quantity reported on this
