Issuing Component Parts

Issue Codes

Issue codes define the material issue method to be used for a component part and are specified in the Part Master Maintenance conversation.  Valid values are:

·     R - Requisition issue method.  The issue of material must be manually reported for this component.

·     S - Simultaneous issue and receipt method.  The issue of material is recorded automatically when the receipt of the manufactured item is reported.

·     T - JIT multi-level backflushing method.  The issue and receipt of a component part, or a stock transfer of the component part (depending on the part type) occurs when a flow receipt or a manufacturing order receipt is entered against the parent.  Issue and receipts occur for manufactured parts.  Stock transfers occur for transfer parts.

If the manufacturing order is open, the issue code for a component cannot be changed. If the issue code for a part is 'S' or 'T', MAC-PAC gives you the option of using either standard SIR processing or multiple location backflushing.  For more information, please refer to the Setting Up Backflushing key concept in the Design Engineering User Manual.

Backflushing

When finished goods are received into stock, MAC-PAC can "backflush" the inventory required to produce those items.  Backflushing refers to the automatic updating of component inventory balances by the system.  Backflushing is also known as simultaneous issue and receipt processing.  For more information about backflushing, please refer to the Inventory Transactions key concept in the Design Engineering User Manual.
