| Collecting backflush materials from the warehouseThe backflushing of
materials takes place when you report a quantity completed (see Backflushing procedure). LN calculates and processes the quantities that must be backflushed. From which inventory the materials are backflushed depends on
the value of the following fields: - The Lot Selection field. In this field in the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session or in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session you must indicate whether all materials must
be issued from the same lot, from a specific lot, or from an arbitrary (any)
lot. This applies especially for lot-controlled items (defined in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session). If the material is not a lot-controlled
item, the value is always Any.
- The Outbound Method field. The value of the Outbound Method field in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) session determines from which inventory
the materials are backflushed.
You can select one of the following values: - LIFO: the inventory with the
latest inventory date is backflushed first.
- FIFO: the inventory with the
earliest inventory date is backflushed first.
- By Location: the inventory on the location with the highest priority
(defined in the Warehouse - Locations (whwmd3500m000) session) is backflushed first.
