Hi all,

In consumption type we have incremental backflushing type. I don't understand much about this. Can you tell me some information about this.

Thanks.

It's ok, I found the define:

Incremental backflushing: Allows you to complete a partial quantity of a batch at an interim production step. This is useful when production runs continuously over multiple shifts, or for more than one day.

This is a functionality used in OPM. As per this either Ingredient or Product shall be defined with "Manual" consumption / yield. When partial quantities are completed, it needs to be entered through Incremental Backflush form. Then Raw material will be consumed as per formula, proportional to the Product quantity entered.

Incremental backflushing lets you record production output or yield incrementally
as it occurs prior to batch completion. The application calculates the ingredient
usage by backflushing the ingredients based on product yield and planned
quantities. Incremental backflushing can only be performed on batches that have a
status of WIP or Completed. Ingredient items must have a consumption type of
Incremental in order to be backflushed by incremental backflushing.
With incremental backflushing, the application calculates actual quantities for the
items that are set to a consumption type of incremental in a WIP batch. Calculations
are proportional to the quantity of the item selected for incremental backflushing.

Incremental backflushing is completing less than the full quantity of a product. This is often done with batches
that run a long time and yield product in increments, and involves the calculation
of ingredient consumption from the entry of product yield, and product yield from
the entry of ingredient consumption.
