One more question do you have to have the AMM module to conduct back flush operations with vantage 6.0? Thanks in advance.

We are using vantage 6.0 and are looking at back flush operations. What are the pros and cons of using back flush operations for material using vantage 6.0? I am sure it will go just like the help file explains....a bit of humor.

Hello group


We are currently using Vantage version 6 and are looking to utilize back
flushing for some of our low cost high consumables, example some hardware,
wire, lugs etc. I have very little experience with back flushing and was
looking for some pro's and con's on how vantage uses back flushing. Some
question I have are can you set up back flushing operations in a batch
process example can the system back flush once a week and can it handle this
automatically? What bin location will it back flush from? How is material
identified as being back flushed? Any comments would be helpful. Thank you
in advance.

I can answer one of you questions. Backflushing is a scheduled task, so it is preformed as often as you want. Every 5 minutes or once a week, or anything in between.

Thank you for that answer I was hoping we could schedule when\what time of day to run back flushing....are you currently using backing flushing operations in you facility, if yes, what is your professional opinion on how well vantage handles this task.

It works great. I haven't had to touch it since I set it up almost a year ago. I couldn't answer you bin question because we don't use bins, we only have one master bin that everything falls under. I beleive the transaction log will show the material as being backflushed, but I don't have much need to ever check on that so I'm not %100 sure. There is a log file that you define when you schedule the backflush labor server process, but then again I have never had to go look at the log file.

One thing to keep in mind, you can't backflush serialized items. At least you couldn't when we went live a year ago.

Hi

It seems that your question kind of involves two different backflushing processes. Are you talking about Backflushing labor, or backflushing material. If you are talking about backflushing material you can set the part as a backflush part on the part plant record. Then you will need to relate your backflush material to an operation on the jobs and when you complete the operations the material is backflushed. You can also backflush the material at complete and closing of the jobs in job closing.



If you are talking about backflushing labor you can set a process to run once a week, once a day. etc...and that is the backflush labor server process. You would need to do some set up in the resource groups though, and also you still need to report quantities and complete the last operation on the routing to backflush labor. your production standards will need to be set pretty close to actual on the preceding operations though since it will backflush labor at standard.



Hope that this help.

Good Point Steven,



you cannot backflush serial, lot, or dimensionally tracked items.

Paul,

You might want to check that for your version...it may not be a
scheduled task for version 6, but it has been a while since I have been
on version 6.

Also, make sure the part is marked as backflush in part maintenance, but
you may be able to do this right on the job itself.

The operations have to marked in a particular order: for example, if you
have 3 ops, the first two should be marked as backflush, the last op
should be marked as quantity only. This is the labor entry part of the
operation.

Now version 6 is a little different than version 8 in setup. I'd still
call tech and see if they have any other particulars you should watch
out for in set up.

If you have any other questions, just ask!

HTH,

Manasa

Can you clarify this for me, because our consultant didn't make this very clear and I thought the backflush process did all the backflushing. We pretty much have everything set to backflush and the only reporting we do is to complete and close the job (quantity only).  We use default production standards.

So from what you are saying, the backflush process is for backflushing the labor, but the material is backflushed when the job is completed (since there is no reporting before than) and the material backflushing does not rely on the backflush process. Did I get that right?

As you know, backflushing is set in the part master.



The part is then associated with an operation in your bill of materials.



As soon as production is entered on a job, the parts used to make the
production are backflushed out of inventory at that time.

Hi Steven,



Yes you have got that right. The backflush labor server process is only for backflushing labor, and you either backflush material at operation completion when you report time and quantity, or you backflush material when you complete and close the job. They are two separate backflush processes in Vantage/Vista and Epicor 9. If you backflush labor you need to run the backflush labor server process, and if you backflush material you need to set the part to backflush and then relate it to an operation and the material will backflush when you complete that specific operation.



If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

It seems that your question kind of involves two different backflushing processes. Are you talking about Backflushing labor, or backflushing material. If you are talking about backflushing material you can set the part as a backflush part on the part plant record. Then you will need to relate your backflush material to an operation on the jobs and when you complete the operations the material is backflushed. You can also backflush the material at complete and closing of the jobs in job closing.

If you are talking about backflushing labor you can set a process to run once a week, once a day. etc...and that is the backflush labor server process. You would need to do some set up in the resource groups though, and also you still need to report quantities and complete the last operation on the routing to backflush labor. your production standards will need to be set pretty close to actual on the preceding operations though since it will backflush labor at standard.

Hope that this help.

I can answer one of you questions. Backflushing is a scheduled task, so it is preformed as often as you want. Every 5 minutes or once a week, or anything in between.

Hello group

We are currently using Vantage version 6 and are looking to utilize back
flushing for some of our low cost high consumables, example some hardware,
wire, lugs etc. I have very little experience with back flushing and was
looking for some pro's and con's on how vantage uses back flushing. Some
question I have are can you set up back flushing operations in a batch
process example can the system back flush once a week and can it handle this
automatically? What bin location will it back flush from? How is material
identified as being back flushed? Any comments would be helpful. Thank you
in advance.

We have been using backflushing since (I believe version 5). We have no problems with it. The only thing you cant do is backflush a part and have it tied to an outside op. Otherwise if your labor entry is disciplined and employees enter correct qtys produced every day it is a very nice tool. Of course there will be times when a physical inventory has to be done to verify counts. Overall we are pleased

We are using vantage 6.0 and are looking at back flush operations. What are the pros and cons of using back flush operations for material using vantage 6.0? I am sure it will go just like the help file explains....a bit of humor.
