Ah ok. We do not backflush labor, but I will check that out just in case.
Just double checked. Enable FIFO layers is not checked.
Yes. The parts are quantity bearing.
We have our Backflush WH and Bin blank on the resource groups, as we did not want it to backflush from point of use. Have been reading through the hierarchy and trouble shooting this for a little while now. Just cant figure out why it isnt working. I will check that backflush labor process in our Test Environment to be sure.
@Banderson We do not use lot control.
Thanks again for your help so far everyone.
@Banderson @utaylor @SPhillips
Brandon you are correct. Without backflush labor running we are indeed still backflushing material.

To confirm, the backflush labor process does NOT need to be running to backflush material.
@SPhillips can you post a screenshot of the Job Job Detail Material tab?

That looks perfect, provided that âMain warehouseâ is a valid Warehouse assigned to the part (which I donât see how it couldnât be).
and your Opr 10 is the Labor Type either âTime & Qtyâ or âQty Onlyâ?
(BTW - to clarify the timing of backflush from earlier, it is immediate following each Report Qty or End Activity with a Qty)
I would go with 100%. Caught me out when our team decided to stop using backflush operations but weâve live since JAN and all parts are backflush and Iâve never had to run the backflush process.
Longshot but you donât have to approve labor via Time & Expense entry?

Just throwing this out there, but when you complete the job for the very top assembly, do your parts backflush then? We donât really use subassemblies so we have not tested them but itâs just a thought.
For us, we have always specified a backflush bin on the resource group level and the Part Plant Backflush flag is true. They backflush regardless if Labor Type is Time & Qty or Qty Only.
I will follow this thread - I will need to lick this problem as well, we are going to rely on station-by-station backflushing now and we never used to do that.
Backflushing has always been inconsistent to me. Like, it works great 99.99% but that 0.01%, I just donât get it.
I do have this to share about scheduling:
We actually do use Epicor to approve labor via Time and Expense entry. The foremen have to approve entries, so its done fairly quickly (every day). The example Im using is approved.
Its set for Time & Quantity.
Main WH is the valid warehouse and its on the part.
Can you do this screenshot again but with the operation that has materials 140 & 150 attached to it
No they do not. They mostly only backflush during the Job Closing process when someone checks the backflush box. It does seem to work when someone goes into Job Cost Adjustment to fix their employeeâs labor. So if a guy was supposed to complete 2 and only completed 1 and his foreman goes in there and adds the extra and marks it complete, they actually issue. Not sure why.
Just need a bit more detail. Can you expand that 10 OP: MT10FAB. You should see something like this:
