How to Flush Components According to Operation Output | Microsoft Docs

For items that are set up with backward flushing method, the default behavior is to calculate and post component consumption when you change the status of a released production order to Finished.

If you also define routing link codes, then calculation and posting occurs when each operation is finished, and the quantity that was actually consumed in the operation is posted. For more information, see Create Routings.

For example, if a production order to produce 800 meters requires 8 kg of a component, then when you post 200 meters as output, 2 kg are automatically posted as consumption.

This functionality is useful for the following reasons:

The following procedure shows how to combine backward flushing and routing link codes so that the quantity that is flushed for each operation is proportional to the actual output of the finished operation.

To flush components according to operation output

  1. Choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature icon, enter Items, and then choose the related link.
  2. Choose the Edit action.
  3. On the Replenishment FastTab, in the Flushing Method field, select Forward.

    NOTE

    Select Pick+ Forward if the component is used in a location that is set up for directed put-away and pick.

  4. Choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature icon, enter Routings, and then choose the related link.

  5. Define routing link codes for every operation that consumes the component. For more information, see Create Routings .
  6. Choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature icon, enter Production BOM, and then choose the related link.
  7. Define routing link codes from each instance of the component to the operation where it is consumed.

    IMPORTANT

    The component must have a routing link to the last operation in the routing.
