This module performs a simple inventory backflush transaction and automatically prints TrackIDs for the newly created product.

It can also be used in a process-type manufacturing operation where opening and closing Job cards is impossible. Industries with continuous processes, such as breweries or large creamed cheese manufacturers, will run a continuous production line, and then this simple backflush transaction works well for those processes.

After completing the new product, all backflush transactions will typically be posted on the warehouse or factory floor using this HTML5 scanner screen.

However, it can also be done on this PC-based screen. For more information, refer toInventory Backflush [WIP081]

Inventory backflush works similarly to Jobs, but in this instance, only the BOM will be used to produce the final product. After completion of the new product, the operator will enter the warehouse of the backflush receipt (BF into Warehouse). Then, the supplying warehouse (From Warehouse) and the stock code and quantity are entered.

On posting the transaction, the transaction is posted in SYSPRO. If successfully posted, it will create a new TrackID (pallet) label, print this at the correct printer linked to this module and log in warehouse.

• Scan or enter the warehouse for the finished goods (for example, assembled bicycle) to be received into the BF into Warehouse field. The bin into which the stock is received is determined by a Warehouse Setting.

• Scan or enter the warehouse from which the components (an example of components can be all the parts required to build a bicycle) were collected from in the From Warehouse field. This will typically be the warehouse on the products' BOM (Bill of Material)

• Scan or enter the Stock Code of the new product (example: assembled bicycle) in production.

• The Quantity field will update automatically, if the System Setting is configured, with the quantity in production. The user still has the option to change the displayed quantity.

• Scan or enter the TrackID for the completed product (example: assembled bicycle). If an existing TrackID is selected here, the backflush stock will be added to it. If you leave this blank, a new TrackID will be created.

• Select Post.

• The transaction will be posted in SYSPRO and the components (all the parts required to build a bicycle) will be depleted from the BF (backflush) warehouse, and a new TrackID for the finished product will print.
