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 the HTML5 scanner. For more information, refer to Inventory Backflush [WIP081]

However, it can also be done on this PC-based screen.

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 and print this at the correct printer linked to this module and log in warehouse.

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

  • 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)

The From Warehouse must be a WIP warehouse. Refer to TECHNICAL, for required System Settings. Also, if this field is left blank the backflush will look at the default warehouse on the products BOM (Bill of Material)

  • Enter or select 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.

  • Enter or select 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.

SPECIAL FEATURES

  • Backflush levels indicate if the BOM (Bill of Material) is a single (S) or multilevel (M) BOM. The default level should be single. This will also force the manufacturing plant to adhere to the correct backflush processes.

  • The option exists to add backflush stock to an existing TrackID or create a new TrackID.

  • The components warehouse must be a WIP warehouse. Stock for components is only depleted in SYSPRO, so the pallets in DATASCOPE WMS must be made inactive by making the warehouse a WIP warehouse.

  • The VB Scripting is standard on all screens and allows users to customize a screen. If you would like more information, you can contact your local DSP (Datascope Solution Provider) for help.

  • This module is available from the Main Menu under Warehouse Movements / Warehouse Movements / Inventory Backflush (Warehouse Movements) [MOV002] AND Work In Progress / WIP Receipt / Inventory Backflush (WIP Receipt) [WIP081]

TECHNICAL

  • A Warehouse Setting must be updated to configure the Bin into which the stock must be received. Select Settings / Warehouse Settings from the Ribbon bar and select the BF (backflush) warehouse from the Warehouse drop-down. Locate INVENTORY_BACKFLUSH in the System Name drop-down. Update the DEFAULT_BIN Setting values with the receiving bin. Example: RECV_FG. This is the default bin location for the selected warehouse where all received stock will be placed.

  • Backflush levels must be configured within the system settings to indicate whether they are single (S) or multilevel (M). Select Settings / Warehouse Settings from the Ribbon bar and select the BF (backflush) warehouse from the Warehouse drop-down. Locate INVENTORY_BACKFLUSH in the System Name drop-down. Update the BACKFLUSHLEVEL Setting values to either a S (single) or M (multiple). Backflush levels refer to the depth at which the system will interrogate the BOM.

  • To instruct SYSPRO to issue all components from a Bill of Material warehouse the following System Setting must be switched on. Select Settings / Warehouse Settings from the Ribbon bar and select the BOM warehouse from the Warehouse drop-down. Locate INVENTORY_BACKFLUSH in the System Name drop-down. Update the ISSUE_FROM_COMPONENT_WAREHOUSE Setting values to Y(es)

  • If the From Warehouse must not be controlled by DATASCOPE WMS (therefore it must be set as a WIP Warehouse in SYSPRO) and the To Warehouse (BF into Warehouse) be controlled by DATASCOPE (therefore it must not be set as a WIP Warehouse in SYSPRO) the following must be set. Select Settings / Warehouse Settings from the Ribbon bar and select the warehouse from the Warehouse drop-down. Locate INVENTORY_BACKFLUSH in the System Name drop-down. Update the ISSUE_FROM_COMPONENT_WAREHOUSE Setting values to Y(es) and the WIPWAREHOUSE Setting value to N(o).

  • Ensure the correct printer is linked to this module and logged in warehouse. To set up the correct printer refer to Printers [SET090]

  • Ensure the correct report template has been setup against the System Setting. From the Ribbon bar, select Settings / System Settings and locate INVENTORY_BACKFLUSH in the System Name drop-down. Update the BARRELLABEL value to the correct .rpt template. (DATASCOPE_TRACKID_BFLUSH_4X2.5.rpt)

  • To load the Quantity (PalletQty) as setup against the stock code and warehouse in SYSPRO, the following System Setting must be switched on. Select Settings / System Settings from the Ribbon bar and select the locate INVENTORY_BACKFLUSH in the System Name drop-down. Update the AUTO_LOAD_PALLET_QTY Setting values to Y(es). If the Setting value is Y(es) the quantity will load automatically, if the Setting value is N(o), then the Quantity field will remain blank and the user can add a Qty.
