Backflush consumption material component at final confirmation CNF?

[Private_Member_28603]

Hello together,

if you flag a material component for backflush consumption, the material consumption posting is already done together with the

first confirmation of the order operation - no matter if it's a partial (PCNF) or final confirmation (CNF).

Is there any setting in customizing or on material master to control the time of posting - I want that the material component backflush posting is done

only at the final confirmation of the operation.

Thanks for your inputs!

Regards,

Hi

There is Two ways of doing it. There is no configuration setting to check the final confirmation & then post the goods Movement automatically.

1. Either you remove the backflush indicator untill you post the final confirmation for operation. OR
2. You may need to do enhancement using user exit at the time of confirmation saving & write the code with the help of ABAP person to check the that Final indicator check & then post the Goods movement for material which need to be backflushed.

I hope this will resolve the issue for you.

Hi Patrick

I agree with Pete and Makarand Ideas. However, I would like to share another way  

In SPRO, under Completion Confirmations, you can find "Define Execution Time for Confirmation Process" wherein for Category 30 - you can define when the backflushing can trigger.

You need to assign this process control key, in your completion confirmation parameters for that order type.

May be you can schedule a background job for backflushing of components. Again question is when we need to schedule the background job? I am not sure, whether we can setup such that the background job runs after order attains CNF status.

Frankly, I never tried this, but wanted to share.

Other experts, any further Idea on this...can we make it work like this?

Hi Pavan,

thank you very much for this approach!

I will check this idea in detail. But as you wrote, it depends clearly on the possibilities of the auto-job and how it can be set up with a logic to only look for orders with system status CNF.

Pavan, do you know which ABAP program is used for the mentioned auto-job?

Once again, big THANKS for your inputs and efforts!

Bye,

I think, the program name is CORUPROC.

How to define background job with such a logic - I am not sure....Sorry.

Hi Pavan, I assigned the process control to order type. Still it disallows the direct issue via MIGO to backflush material. In the Process Control SAP1 for order cat 30, I failed the 3 options under Backflush.

Hi,

Please check User exit:EXIT_SAPMM07M_001.here you can restrict GI only at the final confirmation of the operation.

Patrick,

Another option is to have a dedicated operation for the backflush items (say the last operation in the order).

Then when all other operations have been set to CNF, you then CNF the backflush operation.

It would be nice if you could let us know why you need this functionality.

Hi Pete,

great idea from you (..as usual)!!!

Pete, the reason behind is, that we have operations on which various technicians are working in parallel or in sequence. By using backflush consumption we simply want to avoid the positng effort for the technicians. Why at CNF? -At final confirmation we are sure that all components have been installed at the machine and thus this all reservations should be posted (..and we can't create more operations due to operation cost tracking). Therefore it's not good if reservations are already posted at first partial confirmation.

Hope my explanations lead to another idea of yours

Kind regards,

Patrick
