Sub Shipper Issuer
Confirm the shipper using Sub Shipper Issue (18.22.5.11). For the
quantities identified in the subcontract shipper, the equivalent of a Move
Transaction is performed from the output queue of the operation
preceding the subcontract operation. If the preceding operation is a nonmilestone,
then non-milestone backflushing takes place for that operation
and any other preceding non-milestone until the quantity requirement is
either satisfied or another milestone operation is encountered.
For component material requirements of the subcontract operation,
the system performs the equivalent of an inventory location transfer.
Inventory is transferred from the site and location entered in the shipper
to the cumulative order site and operation work center location, if there is
a corresponding record in the location master. Otherwise, the inventory is
transferred to the item default location.
Component materials are backflushed by Purchase Order Receipt (5.13.1)
and PO Shipper Receipt (5.13.20) in the Purchasing module. An
unplanned issue of the container inventory is performed for container
items (if containerization is used).

automatically backflushed.
For scheduled orders, create a shipper in PO Shipper Maintenance
(5.5.5.5). Reference the item that is on the supplier schedule. Confirm the
shipper using PO Shipper Receipt (5.5.5.11). This moves the WIP to the
input queue of the next operation, if the move flag is Yes, backflushes the
