We are experiencing a significant data volume increase in our Reprocessing List (RPL) due to a combination of automatic backflush failures, pending standard process steps (GRIN and Usage Decisions), and continuous low-value consumable items. We need an optimal SAP solution or best-practice configuration to streamline this process.
Automatic Backflush Issues: An automatic backflush job runs every 3 hours. While many parts post automatically, a significant number still fail and require manual posting by the team.
GRIN & Quality (UD) Bottlenecks: The RPL is currently cluttered with the following:
Items pending Goods Receipt (GRIN).
Quality inspection items pending a Usage Decision (UD).
Because these items remain in the list until cleared, the RPL is growing excessively large.
Consumables and Small Parts: Continuous parts like shims, spacers, washers, and other consumables constantly appear in the RPL, requiring continuous manual resolution.
Questions / Solutions Needed
How can we prevent low-value consumables (shims, washers, spacers) from hitting the RPL? Is there a way to exclude these specific material types or storage locations from the reprocessing logic (e.g., bulk material indicator or backflush exclusion)?
How can we better manage or isolate GRIN and quality (UD) pending items so they do not bloat the main operational RPL?
What are the best practices to reduce the failure rate of the 3-hourly automatic backflush job to minimise manual intervention?
