Back flush labor

Babette,
These are not separate fields but options on a drop down list. Do the following:
1. Go to the Job-Operation screen
2. Field Label is LABOR ENTRY - Drop down list options are Quantity ONLY, Time and Quantity, Backflush
Exceptions:
a. If you tick the box Auto Receive to Inventory (on lower right hand of the screen) the Backflush option will not be available.

HTH,

Subject: [Vantage] Back flush labor


Hello everyone:

We have numerous short operations which we periodically time-study then enter the estimates on the parts.

From day-one with Vantage we planned to 'backflush' labor.
Finally with 5.1 we can.
Yet , now I am having trouble implementing it.

The Help File says there are two fields on the Job-Operation which I do not see:
1) Back Flush Cost
2) Report Quantity

Is anyone else currently back flushing labor?
If so, please give me some details on how it works for you.
Write on or off list.

Thank you

BW

Hi Babette,
We don't use backflushing, but I did some testing with it. As a result of the testing, I have a document that itemized the steps we were going to use to accomplish backflushing. Below is the list we created.

3.. Double-Click the part number.
4.. In the Part maintenance screen, click Inv/Purch. button.
5.. In the Inventory Purchasing Part Plant maintenance screen, click the BackFlush check box and OK and OK.
6.. Do this with each part on the BOM.
4.. Update the Router to a Single step.
1.. Go to Part Maintenance (Production/ABOM/Master File Maintenance/Part)
2.. Select the Manufactered part that you are going to Backflush material for
3.. Select Revision/BOM from the menu.
4.. On the Part Rev screen, click the Update button

9.. Click close.
5.. Create a new Job

6.. Click Add at the bottom of the Job Header Screen to add a Quantity.
7.. Enter a Quantity, and check the "Make to Stock" radio button, press OK.

9.. Back in the Job Entry screen, link a BOM to the job by selecting Get Details from the menu.
10.. Select the correct Manufactured part and click OK and Yes.
11.. Select Scheduling/Job Scheduling from the menu.
12.. Click the Forward radio button, and enter a Start Date (then wait several minutes - the screen will not respond during this time).
13.. Select Links/comments from the menu and enter a comment.
14.. In the Manufacturing Links screen, click Job Entry from the Right-Center of the screen.
15.. Back in the Job Entry screen, select each material component of the job and double-click it.
16.. Enter (or search for) the Related Operation that you want to trigger the BackFlush (there should be only one now).
17.. Do step p & q above for each material component.
18.. Check the Engineered box and the Released box and enter a comment.
19.. Exit the Job Entry Screen.
6.. Run Labor against the Operation so that the backflushing occurs
1.. Select Job Adjustment from Production/Job management/General Operations/Job Adjustment.
2.. Click the Labor Adjustment button.
3.. Enter the job number and the operation.
4.. Enter an Employee ID

6.. Enter hours and costs, etc. Click OK.


The materials should now be issued to the job.
