Assign Tracked Backflush Components
Explanation
This activity is used to define the tracked parts to be
backflushed at purchase order receipt. Backflush is the automatic issue of the
component parts from a special backflush location (to the supplier), upon
arrival registration of the main part. This activity is required for serial
component parts, and is optional for lot/batch-tracked parts. If you do not assign
any lot/batch number to the components, the first available lot/batch will be
issued.
Prerequisites
- Backflush must have been made available for at least one
component line, pertaining to the purchase order line being received.
- The components to be backflushed must be either
serial or lot/batch-tracked parts.
System Effects
- The components specified on the component part (or
supplier material) lines will be automatically issued through backflush.
- It will be possible to complete arrival
registration of the main/top part.

Procedure
- On the Register Purchase Order Arrival window,
select the purchase order line you want to receive, right-click and then click
Receive (or Receive with Serials if the main part is a tracked
part).
- In the Receive dialog box (or

button will be made available if the purchase order line has tracked component
parts.

Backflush Component Part window. The header shows the purchase order line
information, and the first table shows all the component lines. In the lower table section, enter the serials
and lot/batches to be issued through backflush.
- In the upper table, select a purchase order line. If
any tracked parts have already been assigned, they will be shown on the
lower table. If required, you can remove these by clicking Remove.
- Click New to specify a new tracked
part in the lower table. Using the List of Values, select values for the
Lot Batch No and Serial No fields, where applicable.
- Click either OK or Apply depending on
whether you are entering one or more tracked parts.

If the component part is serial-tracked at receipt and issue but not serial-tracked in inventory, a dialog box appears where the serial number(s) to be backflushed should be identified. Click OK
when completed.
