Backflushing costed consumable material

Kinetic ERP

Hello,

We are exploring converting a number of our raw materials from CLASS “Raw Materials” to “Consumables”. I wish to maintain these consumable parts on our part MoM as well as maintain cost of consumable and the ability for consumable parts to backflush to job.

Currently I have part set as class consumable, qty bearing check box de-selected with 0 qty in inventory. Non-stock item check box is not selected. Raw material check box deselected and backflush check box selected. This forces the part from avg cost to std cost. Once I added a std cost to the part I was able to to backflush part onto job and cost was applied.

This set up appears to work. Is this the correct set up for costing and backflushing a consumable part?

With qty bearing unchecked(requirement is no stock on hand) where is this material coming from that is issuing onto the job?

Thanks,

We do not have any non-qty bearing parts issued to or backflushed to jobs, but the way I understand it is that the issue (backflush) transaction will move the cost of the consumables to WIP but there are no quantities or stock/inventory numbers that are tracked by Epicor.

You should see a debit to WIP and a corresponding credit to the expense account for your consumable item. The Inventory/WIP Reconciliation report will show you which accounts are hit by this transaction. The expense account is controlled at the Part Class and Part level GL Control Codes.
