Using BaaN IV, Version B 40c.79

I have a parent item with many child items. Some have Item Type=manufactured while others have Item Type=purchased.

Manufactured Items are available for backflushing in their respective WIP WHs. Purchased Items are available for backflushing in their respective Raw Material WHs.

When I report production order complete for the Parent Item, I want the manufactured child items to be backflushed from their respective WIP WHs and the Purchased child items to be backflushed from their respective Raw Material WHs.

How to do this ?

All your raw materials which is of item type purchase should have "blackfush if material" checked

The manufactured child item which is a component of your parent item should have "blackfush if material" checked as well as "blackfush material" checked.

The above setting will allow you to process your scenario.

Do you really means WIP wrh or you used the term loosely? WIP warehouse are tied to the work center and which in turn gets tied upto to the operations. SO, if you have multiple WIP warehouses, then I don't think it would be an easy way to set up the WIP warehouse to work centers.

Otherwise, as you are aware that Baan will backflush from the BOM and thats get deafulted to estimated material. If nothing works then a small customization can help- change the warehouse in Estimated BOM .

Hi priyanko,
Wish things were as simple !
As far as I know, BaaN will backflush from any one WH. If the child items are available in several different WHs, I have to carry out Inventory transfers to bring all the required material to that WH, which BaaN uses for bachflushing the child items. I don't want to do this ( Parent has about 2500 child items, mass production, daily production order reporting, short supply of child items, rejections... can you imagine the muck I am in ? )

avpatil,
You are right that I have multiple WIP WHs. What customization ?

In that case you should explain your constraints carefully.

you say you have multiple wip warehouse. By that do you mean those warehouse are of type WIP in baan.

How many work centers do you have for production purpose.
Hopefully u shd know that for a particular work center you can have only one work center for sourcing your intermediate products. As far as i see there should not be any problem for backflusing from your WIP warehouse.

Bring all your concerned raw materials and components for sourcing to ur wip warehouse...for this there are various methods which are out of the context.
So basically u ned to set up a replishment type , pull system.
And then backflushing can take place from a particular source warehouse..
Of what I understand a single type of material say type A can only be sourced frm a single warehouse, not from a multiple warehouse.

If the replishment system for your WIP is properly setup, I see no problem.

In LN6.1 for backflushing one needs to also check direct proc from warehouse order line. which automatically process your outbound frm source warehouse. I am not aware of the same setup in baan4c. Please also investigate regarding the same.

priyanko->

1. Yes, WHs are of type WIP.

2. We have approximately 150 work centres

3. "Hopefully u shd know that for a particular work center you can have only one work center for sourcing your intermediate products.." -> I didn't understand this statement :-)

4. "As far as i see there should not be any problem for backflusing from your WIP warehouse.".-> If I want to backflush from any one WH, there is no problem. But when I want to backflush different child items from different WHs to account for consumption of child items of the same parent, I don't know how to do it.

5. "If the replishment system for your WIP is properly setup, I see no problem.." -> How to do this ?

3. Sorry it was a typo. "Hopefully u shd know that for a particular work center, there can be only one WIP warehouse".

4. different child items from different warehouse can be backflushed...
but same child item present in different warehouse and then u wanna source and backflsuh same child item frm diff warehouse will be a problem.

The setup is very simple. you gotta tell me how u are setting up the routing lines, and production planning lines.

5. to answer for the replishment system, I gotta understand the full scenario.
