  6. Click the Co-Products tab and specify this information for each co-product listed on the tab, if the current job is a co-product job:
    Completed Qty
    The number of completed items for the selected operation.
    Moved Qty
    The number of completed items on this job to move to the next operation. The value in this field is updated by the quantity specified in Moved Edit field, when you click Save.
    Scrapped Qty
    The quantity of items on this job to scrap. The value in this field is updated by the quantity specified in the Scrapped Edit field, when you click Save. The backflush inventory check is performed.
    Note: For serial-controlled items, the specified Good and Scrapped quantities are validated against the available serial-controlled inventory at the respective backflush locations as per the BOM configuration. An error message is displayed to the user indicating that sufficient serial inventory is not available to backflush.

    For lot-controlled items, the validation depends on the CSI inventory On hand Negative flag parameter. If this parameter is disabled (negative inventory is not allowed) and the inventory is unavailable in the respective backflush locations as per the BOM configuration, the user is displayed with an error message. This message provides the details of missing inventory for the respective BOM item(s) and location(s). If the parameter is enabled (negative inventory is allowed), it is not mandatory to have sufficient on-hand quantity but at least one lot must exist in the backflush location for each BOM item. If the condition is false, an error message with the details of missing inventory for the respective BOM item(s) and location(s) is displayed.
