Receive and Backflush Components

Explanation

Use this activity to receive manufactured parts into inventory and to automatically issue the material. 

However, if catch unit enabled components are issued using the backflush feature, this activity can be performed only if the full quantity on the inventory location is issued.

When automatically issuing material, below parameters are considered.

• The value in the Reserve/Issue Method field of the shop order material line is considered when automatically reserving/issuing material. This value determines how to reserve/issue material to the shop order.
• For operation connected material, the option selected in the Outside Reserve/Backflush at the Work Center window is considered when automatically reserving material. This value determines how the reserve/backflush of material is allowed from locations other than work center inbound locations.
• If the Shared Location check box is selected in the Location tab of the Work Center window, material can be reserved/issued to any demand. If not selected, only the material demands from operations that are connected to the work center will be allowed to reserve/issue material from this location.

This activity contains a Security Checkpoint which can be activated by an administrator. With an activated security checkpoint on a function you will have to authenticate yourself again in order to fulfill the function. Additionally, whenever a security checkpoint is successfully passed a security checkpoint log is written, creating an audit trail of what is done.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that:

• The shop order must have Released status before you can receive parts into inventory using backflush with automatic issuing.
• If the order is connected to a control plan for which the Receipt Not Allowed check box is selected, the control plan analysis needs to be confirmed and all time triggers need to be stopped.

System Effects

As a result of this activity the system receives parts into inventory and automatically issues material based on the number of parts received. The material is primarily issued from work center inventory or, as a second choice, from the regular inventory locations according to the FIFO (First In, First Out) principle.

The supply code of the shop order material lines is considered during the automatic issue of parts. If the supply code is Inventory Order, only the standard inventory will be available for issue. 

If the supply code is Project Inventory, only the project inventory of the project connected to the shop order will be available for issue. If components are available, the parts belonging to the connected project activity will be issued.

If the shop order is connected to a project activity, the parts will be received into project inventory.

If the shop order is created from Project Delivery, the delivery project will be updated with the quantity received.

If the shop order is created from Project Miscellaneous Demand, the project miscellaneous demand record will be updated with the quantity received.

If the shop order is pegged to a project miscellaneous demand or a project item, the material will be automatically reserved to the demand source. 

If the shop order is marked as customer order-based and was created when a customer order line was entered, the received part is automatically reserved for the customer order line. Work In Process (WIP) transactions are created.

When issuing material by using backflush for a pegged shop order, the issue will reduce the pegged quantity by the same quantity that was issued. However, if there is more than one supply pegged to the same demand you will be notified to manually adjust the peggings before the issue can be performed.
