Activity usage will be back flushed at target

How can I confirm activity usage by back flushing target quantities based on actual quantity delivered into stock from a process order?
Could you please advise how we can do the above?
Currently we are confirming the activity based on the planned hrs. But how could it be possible in SAP to Confirm the activity usage based on the delivered stock from a process order
The above is only relevant to Activity but not component materials.
Thank you

hi,
Use t.code CO11N for activity confirmation.
thx,

  • Batch managment and back flush

    Dears
    Some of my raw material is batch managment activated now i want it to be as back flush
    so pleae tell me what will be the imapct of doing the same'
    How system automatically issue the raw material from the old date batches
    AF

    Hi Abu Fathima,
    Batch Determination step as follows:
    For that you have to do five important steps or features you have to know OK.
    1) Batch number assignment: We use this function to assign a batch with a number that uniquely identifies it OK.
    2) Batch Specf: To describe each batch uniquely using like Characteristics and characteristic The values. are allocated in the material master.
    3) Batch status management: To indicate weather a batch is usable or unusable: We can set (a) Manually in the batch master record or at goods receipt and (b) Automatically in the usage dissension in quality management.
    4) Batch Determination: We can use this function for various criteria to search for batches that are in stock (a) movement type: When posting goods issues (b) When combining suitable components for order types.
    5) Where used list: The batch where used list shows the path of the batch from its procurement to its delivery to the customer.
    6) Active Ingredient Management: This function is to administrate and process materials with active ingredients that are to be handled in batches OK.
    Condition types: Say for x material if we want to determine the batch at the movement type/ plant/order type.
    Access Sequence: It will checks weather the batch determination is done with movement type/ plant/ material &
    order type/ plant/ material.
    Strategy type: We will assign here condition type and Access sequence and as well we have to maintain Class type: 023
    sort sequence, batch split
    Batch Search Procedure: Here we will define the search procedure and using the condition type here OK.
    Batch Search Procedure Allocation and Check Activation: Here we will assign the search procedure to the movement types and for order types as well
    HERE THE BELOW FOLLOWING DATA WILL GIVE YOU RIGHT UNDERSTANDING OK:
    a) It will looks for the search procedures.
    b) It searches through the strategy types in the search procedures for a valid search strategy.
    c) Characteristics from the selection class of the search strategy looks for batches with suitable specifications.
    d) Then it will looks for weather the batches are available.
    e) It sorts the batches that are available according to the sort rule from the search strategy.
    f) Then the system selects a proposed quantity with proposed quantity from the search strategy.
    Go -
    > Logistic General -
    > SPRO -
    > Batch Management you can find every thing there it self.
    Any questions revert me back please.

  • Back Flush Compared to Manual GI

    Hello,
    I am comparing the pros & cons of Backflush with Manual GI to suggest the suitable solution .. the points that I could think at top of my head are as follows ..
    Back Flush
    Pros
    Minimal human intervention
    User's with limited understanding can function
    Faster goods issue process
    Cons
    Large cumulative variance in system & actual stock figures over  time in most cases
    Not Recommended for high value material
    Salient Feature: Suggested for low cost & less critical BOM components where there is not much financial/ logistic impact with variance within tolerances.
    Manual GI
    Pros
    Accurate consumption can be   captured
    Better actual & system inventory figure sync
    Accurate inventory figures enables better requirement planning
    Cons
    Recommended for matured users
    Labour intensive (Manual activity)
    Demand discipline in terms of reporting the consumption error posting due to stock deficit etc
    Salient Feature: Recommended for high price & critical BOM components where consumption needs to be captured more accurately.
    Please suggest your views on expriences across differrent clients ...

    Dear,
    Apart from Bcakflush and manulgood issue please check this also, Good issue can be done through MB1A, COO1N, CO15. CO27.
    Transactions CO27/COIK are lists, based on the order information system, whereas Transaction MB26 is reservation-based. However, it is also possible to make an order-based selection in Transaction MB26 using the 'Production order' selection window. In this case, both lists should also issue the same components for identical orders.
      In the event of incorrect goods movements in Transaction COGI, picking using Transaction MB26 generates postprocessing records, whereas Transactions CO27 and COIK send an error handling. If the goods movements cannot be corrected, the records are returned unchanged.
    Picking using Transaction MB26 can be scheduled as a background job.
    This is not possible with Transaction CO27/COIK.
      In Transactions COIK/COHV, you can use mass processing to store goods movements of the picking as future change records and you can then update them later using a report (for example CORUPROC). There is no function of this type in Transaction MB26.
    Coming to your pron and cos,
    In backflush you need to use the program  CORUPROC to update COGI or terminted inccoreted good movement through OPK4.
    Else it is very eassy process but 311 you need to use for transfer from the Ware House to Production stroage loaction.
    Unplanned good issue you need to define in confirmtaion screen but there are chances of miss mach of quantity due to manual entry. So here you need screen control.
    In correct good issue you need to cancle the confirmation but in Manual good issue you can do it seperatly.
    But in manual good issue it is possible to confirm the order without good issue.
    Hope it will help you.

  • Very imp back flushing

    what does it mean by back flushing please let me know

    Hello
    Backflushing is nothing but automatic goods issue. System will automatically posts the goods issue when you confirm the operations.You have no need to make manual issue. It will reduce the effort.
    Backflushing is automatic accounting (Goods issues - 261 mvt) of material consumed for production, at the time of confirmation. Eg. When a 4 wheeler automobile is rolled out from assy line, 4 wheels & Tyres are deemed to be consumed and issued to production order automatically by way of backflushing by the system.
    Assy line picks the material from stores/ Assy line and use.
    No Physical issue & Manual posting ( Goods Issue) by Stores.
    Backflush is used for material which are a must and having fixed relationship.
    This can be configured in MRP2 Screen,Work center, Routing and production order.
    Each has some special function.
    If you configure this in routing or production order you have no need to activate this in MRP2 or Work center screen.
    MRP2 Screen defines whether material components are backflushed are to be made at the work center.
    Sometimes Backlogs are created due to different reasons if Backflush is active
    This message tells that "there is no sufficient stocks for the bom component/not able to backflush all the material due to plant data locked etc" at the time of backflushing the BOM Material and hence the Post-processing list is created that you have to Re-process for stock updation of each material.
    To avoid this you can confirm the following things.
    1.Ensure that suffecicient stock is available in the backflushing locations of each materail.
    2.To prevent the generation of "post-processing list" you can block the BOM from getting backflushed if sufficient stock is not available in specified location for the BOM COMPONENTS. To do this change the "REM profile" to "002"in MRP4 view for the BOM MATERIAL.(if the profile is not available you can crate it through SPRO).
    3. To clear the existing Backlog use transcation MF47 and re-process(be ensure that required stocks is available for each bom component)
    Regards

  • Back flushing not happening

    I have activated backflush in routing but when i am confirming the order goods movement screen is blank so i went to co02 and saw the BOM here backflush is not activted so i checked the backflush box and saved the order and again when i went to confirmation goods movement  screen is availble with 261 movement.
    here why the back flush is not happening even when i marked the backflush indicator in routing. it has happened for almost 20 production orders and it got stopped  suddenly. But still the back flush is in active mode in routing.
    so every time i am going to co02 and ticking the backflush in component overview.
    I am using alternative BOM 2 is it effecting anywhere.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Backflush is used for material which are a must and having fixed relationship.
    This can be configured in
    MRP2 Screen,
    Work center,
    Routing and
    production order.
    If you configure this in routing or production order you have no need to activate this in MRP2 or Work center screen.
    MRP2 Screen defines whether material components are always backflushed or work center to decide whether to backflush or mot.
    If you want to always backflush your material then in MRP2 view choose 1 so that each time while confirmation it will backflush the material.
    Yes, alternate 2 BOM is affecting.

  • MFBF Back flush

    Hi,
    Can anybody explain me what is assembly backflush, component backflush and activity backflush? and which radio button we should use and when?
    Jayesh

    Hi
    Activity back flush:
    Use:
    In make-to-stock repetitive manufacturing, the system posts the material costs to the product cost collector in the final backflush.
    Depending on the settings in Customizing, the system also automatically posts the planned production activities from the cost estimate to the product cost collector. If the actual production activities vary from the planned production activities, you can also enter the actual activities (actual times) in the final backflush.
    Prerequisites:
    Customizing:
    You must create a repetitive manufacturing profile which allows the creation of actual activities. To do this, you select Post activities in the Cost accounting section of the repetitive manufacturing profile. You can also choose whether you want to backflush using the data from the standard cost estimate for the material (multi-version) or using the data from the preliminary costing (version specific).
    Work centers:
    You must create a work center or a line hierarchy for the production line.
    Here, in the Basic data tab page, you must enter a standard value key which determines the composition of the various standard values, for example, for the setup time, the machine time or the teardown time.
    In the Cost centers tab page for the work centers, you must enter the cost center and assign the activity types to the standard values.
    Routing:
    You must assign a control key that allows backflushing and cost estimation to each operation in the routing. To do this, select Cost estimate in the control key and enter an indicator which allows backflushing in the Backflush field.
    Material master:
    In the MRP data for the material, you must enter the repetitive manufacturing profile you defined above.
    In the MRP data for the material, you must also create a production version containing the work center and the routing.
    You must select a repetitive manufacturing profile for the material that allows activities to be posted to a product cost collector.
    You must create a product cost collector.
    In the repetitive manufacturing profile, depending on your settings, you must carry out a standard cost estimate for the material or a cost estimate for the production version. You have to flag and release the standard cost estimate.
    Or alternatively, in the initial screen for backflushing, you must select the activity posting by choosing Details.
    Features:
    The posting of production activities is optional. The system calculates the production activities using the standard cost estimate for the material or the preliminary cost estimate for the product cost collector. When posting activities, the system uses the routing valid at the time of the cost estimate. When creating the cost estimate, the system creates a copy of the routing which it uses to determine the production activities.
    If the actual times differ from the planned times in the routing, you can also backflush these times. (For more information, see Correcting Activities.)
    Execution:
    Use
    If more (or less) activities are used to produce a material than you posted, you can use this function to repost the excess (or reduced) activities.
    It may be necessary to do this if a difference exists after backflushing the planned and actual activities. These differences have to be balanced.
    Procedure
    Starting from the initial screen for backflushing, choose Activity backflush.
    The system displays the screen for backflushing activities.
    Enter the appropriate plant and the assembly for which you want to backflush activities. If necessary, restrict your selection further.
    In the Reference quantity field , enter "0".
    This allows you to differentiate between posting a balance and posting a complete activity. When posting the complete activity, enter the appropriate reference quantity here.
    Choose Continue.
    The system proposes the operations, for which you can post a balance.
    Select the appropriate operations and confirm with Enter.
    Now enter the excess or reduced activities and save.
    I hope above three posts will help you understanding the concept and when to use it exactly.
    Regards,
    Madhu.G

  • TS3992 My iphone will not back up with iCloud. it keeps popping up a push notification telling me that i do not have enough storage available for the back up. but in my settings and storage it tells me i have 2.8 GB of 5 GB free space, help!?

    My iphone 4s will not back up with iCloud. it tells me i dont have enough iCloud storage available, that i can manage my storage in my settings, when i click the settings it tells me i have 2.8 GB free space out of 5 GB. i dont know what to do about this problem. it hasnt been backed up in 3 weeks. and if i still have icloud space avaliable on my phone i do not need to purchase more. i have very few aps backed up on my icloud. i do not understand this help me please

    Go to Settings>General>Usage and see how much space is available on your phone (listed at the very top).  The pop-up might be telling you that you don't have enough space on your phone to perform the backup, not that you don't have enough space in your iCloud acount to store the backup.

  • Back Flushing Vendor consigment Material in process order

    Dear Experts,
    I have a question Regarding Vendor consignment back flushing
    while i am doing order confirmation system not proposing vendor name and in good movement tab
    may i know what configuration or master data setup is missing
    My requirment is i need to back flush vendor consginment material automatically
    currently i need to manually choose the vendor while confiming the order
    Thanks in advance

    Dear Experts,
    I manage to use stock determination group for back flushing consignment material
    it works fine system automatically picking up vendor as we do not have multiple vendors
    now i have new issue
    for instance
    i  have a   RAW material A  used in a Product A  when i do confirmation system can able to do back flush with movement type 261 K
    i am using same RAW material A used in product B and when i do confirmation system give me a error
    as below
    Pipeline/consignment movement posted without value
    Message no. M7234Diagnosis
    The system has determined a consignment/pipeline price of 0.00.
    Possible reasons:
    The system could not find any valid condition for the posting date in the consignment/pipeline info record.
    A price of 0.00 was defined in the info record.
    System Response
    Depending on how the system is configured, the message can be either a warning or an error message.
    A withdrawal from this consignment stock or from the pipeline will not create vendor liabilities. For materials with moving average price control, withdrawals are posted without value. For materials with standard price control, a price difference posting is carried out.
    The message is also issued when materials are received into consignment stock, as the system must check whether a consignment price of zero is required.
    Procedure
    If you have authorization, check whether the conditions or the price has been defined correctly in the info record, if necessary. If there is a condition with a price other than zero, check whether the posting date of the movement lies within the condition's validity period.
    Proceed

  • Concept of back flushing

    what is the concept of back flushing?

    Hi,
    Normally backflushing is set for raw materials / semi finished componenets. You can set the indicator in Material master MRP view 2 or in the Routing component assignment.
    When you confirm the last operation of a order, then all the material componenet in the BOM (with backflush indicator) will be issued to the order using 261 mvmt type. So you don't have to do it manually using MIGO or using MB1B.
    Thanks,

  • REM Back flush using firmed planned orders

    Dear Gurus,
        We are using REM manufacturing process in SAP , we are doing backflush for stage wise confirmation and final confirmation.while doing this we are not referring any planned orders as reference.
    if we update new part numbers in BOM the system asking for the availbilty of that particular new part numbers but physically we are having old materials .
    we want to consume that old materials how it possible in the MFBF t.code.
    if any one please help me ,  if I firmed a planned order with quatity or date then sytem will ask the old materials instead of new one.
    pls explain what is planned orders and their impact on MRP ?
    how we can firmed that planned, if i firmed what is the impact duirng backflushing?.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi
    please compare the process when you create the production order manually in Co01 instead of creating the production order by converting the planned order.
    Here you are carrying out back flush with out refering the planned order.
    It is like creating the production order manually.
    In such case system will always look the BOM as of now.
    It will not refer any of the planned order & the components there in.
    If you want to consume the old parts instead of new parts , you can delete the new part numbers & add the old ones in MFBF. this will be allowed by system.
    In this case you are back flushing with out reference to planned orders.System will not ask for old components at all whether planned order is firmed or not.
    Once if planned order is firmed a star (*) mark will appear in MD04 near the planned order number.
    Once if the planned order is firmed, it will not be changed in subsequent MRP Run.
    Hope it is clear.
    Pl. award if it is clear else pl. update.

  • Error occured while back flushing

    Hi,
    I have experienced the typical error while we entered the master data first time and tried to back flush.
    the error was saying the cost element can not carry revenue.
    it guided us to look into the setting related F I.
    finally after completing update part through ca96.
    problem resolved.
    Kindly explain me how ca96 updated the value or allowed the revenue to carry.
    R N Ganapule

    Hi Ganapule,
    You have used Revenue items [ cost elements] in CA 96.
    As these are primary cost elements,a GL a/c has to be created.The cost element can be created only if the GL a/c exist.This is why you went to FI and created a GL a/c.
    Apparently,earlier you must have used a revenue cos element with Catagory: 11 or 12 [Sales / discount recd] .The back flush amounts to an expenditure.With a Revenue cost element cost [ 11 / 12] you can not create a back flush.This is why you had the error message.
    After the message you must have changed to cost element cat:1 in the cost element M/Data.As your cost elmt.cat.is 1 [ this is not revenue relevant] the system is accepting the back flush.
    Hope this is clear now.If you have any doubt come back;i will guide.
    Pl.ignore my earlier reply.
    Regards,
    Ramesh.
