Repetitive Transaction Programs<br />

The following sections describe the use and application of various<br />

transaction programs on the Advanced Repetitive menu.<br />

Backflush Transaction<br />

Backflush Transaction (18.22.13) is the primary tool for reporting<br />

production line activity and the only transaction that automatically<br />

backflushes <strong>com</strong>ponent inventory. You can report the number of gross<br />

units processed, scrapped units, rejected units, and labor hours. If the<br />

transaction is made from the last operation, you can receive items into<br />

inventory.<br />

You can backflush <strong>com</strong>ponents of the current operation and any preceding<br />

non-milestone operations. You backflushing occurs is affected by the<br />

setting of Zero Balance WIP in the Repetitive Control File.<br />

You can also backflush standard labor and burden if the routing record of<br />

the reporting operation, or any preceding non-milestone operation, has<br />

Auto Labor Report set to Yes.<br />

When you report you have <strong>com</strong>pleted and moved items at the final<br />

operation, the quantity is posted as <strong>com</strong>plete at the operation, and is also<br />

posted to the repetitive schedule and the related work order. If there are<br />

multiple schedules for an item, the system determines the earliest open<br />

schedule date and posts the <strong>com</strong>pleted quantities from that point forward.<br />

If the system cannot find enough open balances, the operation is posted<br />

with the transaction quantity. However, the repetitive schedule and work<br />

order record are posted with the open quantity available.<br />

You can modify repetitive schedule <strong>com</strong>pletions using Cumulative<br />

Completed Maintenance (18.22.2.6). You can view the repetitive schedule<br />

<strong>com</strong>pletions using either Schedule Inquiry (18.22.2.2) or Operation<br />

Schedule Report (18.22.2.5). You can view work order <strong>com</strong>pletions using<br />

Work Order Browse (16.2).<br />

When units are moved to stock or scrapped, information is posted to the<br />

repetitive schedule and the MRP exploded work order. When MRP is run,<br />

issued <strong>com</strong>ponent quantities remaining on the production line are visible<br />

for requirement planning. Purchase order receipts and supplier schedule<br />
