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.
