The reporting point BackFlush provides you with a statistical overview of all the reporting points of a production version. In this list, the system displays the quantities that have passed through each reporting point, but that have not yet been backflushed. It displays this information for every production version for which reporting points exist. No goods receipt has yet been posted for these quantities.
To access the reporting point overview, select Go to (MF26) Or, Evaluations ----> Reporting points from the main menu of repetitive manufacturing.
What is the use of reporting
point backflush?
1. You use this function for make-to-stock REM for backflushing unfinished materials (work in process) at predefined operations.
2. You use the reporting point backflush in the following situations:
a) To calculate the quantity of semi-finished products in the production process.
b) To post the goods issues of components closer to the actual withdrawal of the components when working with lengthy lead times. If you want to backflush scrap quantities at the corresponding operation.
3. In REM process, Auto Goods issue
for components is controlled by Rem profile only, which has been assigned
for Header material. If rem profile allows GI, components will be issued
irrespective of RP or w/o RP settings & BF settings.
Repetitive (RP) Backflush (BF) Settings
1) Define REM Profile where RP BF will be activated - SPRO settings -> Production -> Repetitive manufacturing -> Control Data -> Define Repetitive Manufacturing Profiles - Select Profile - Activate RP as mandatory in Control data 1 tab. You must assign a suitable repetitive manufacturing profile in the material master record to be able to backflush a material using either the mandatory or the optional reporting point backflush function.
2) You must set the optional or the mandatory reporting point backflush in the repetitive manufacturing profile.
3) This type of backflushing corresponds to the milestone confirmation in make-to-order production. Therefore, in the routing, you must select a control key which has indicator 1 (=milestone confirmation) in the confirmation field.
4) You must enter the routing in the production version of the material. The system first looks for the routing entered in the detailed planning section. If no entry exists here, the system then uses the routing from the rate-based planning section.
5) You must carry out a version-specific or a standard cost estimate.
6) You are recommended to use the
version-specific cost estimate which can be carried out in shorter intervals
than the standard cost estimate.
Summary of Reporting Point backflush
1. Individual operations which
are having the control key for the milestone confirmation will be confirmed
in MFBF. Check in OP67 the control key is having the value 1 for
confirmation.
2. In the REM profile, in OSP2 check box for RP backflush must be included and automatic GR posting at last RP when backflushing. So the operation's GI and activities will get posted in MFBF and during last operation confirmation only GR happens.
3. This reporting point backflush will be applicable for make to stock production and not to make to order production.
4. This will be suitable for the products which has a longer lead time.
Notes:
Maintain the operation control key in T-code OP00 with confirmation :1 for your Control key. Then in REM profile in T code OSP2 maintain in control data 1 select RP backflush for your REM profile. Then while refreshing the PCC (Product Cost Collector) it will work as Reporting point.
