Calculate backflush quantity
If you report the total ordered quantity as completed, the material quantity that is issued through backflushing equals the estimated material quantity.
If you report a part of the ordered quantity as completed, the material quantity to issue is calculated as follows:
Backflushed material quantity =
Estimated quantity x (Quantity to backflush / Quantity planned input)
- The quantity-planned input is the ordered quantity, corrected for scrap and yield on the operation.
- The estimated quantity that appears in the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session.
Any scrap on the material that you do not define as a percentage but as a fixed quantity is issued all at once as soon as backflushing is carried out. You can define these scrap quantities in the following sessions:
- Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000)
- Production Planning (tisfc0110m000)
