Hello, we testing off of IFS App 10 and will soon convert to IFS Cloud. In our current old ERP system we issue materials from the warehouse to the production area and its immediately assigned to cost of goods sold (no visibility of WIP). Our inventory is averaged weighted cost and our system allows inventory to go negative. In order to prevent disruption when transitioning from our old system to IFS, we are looking at options to be able to issue material from raw materials directly into a WIP GL account and somehow be able to receive/close out shop orders/DOP orders through backflushing without getting errors for having insufficient materials. Our current idea was to create an inventory location with non-nettable so its not seen by MRP/purchasing and then have shop orders consume strictly from those particular locations, however we run into the insufficient material problem. The assumption I have seen with IFS is that it assumes your BOM is 100% accurate when backflushing which is never the case, how can we easily get DOP orders/shop orders in the hundreds/thousands to receive in without these errors of insufficient materials? Going into each shop order/DOP order to provide alternate part is definitely not an option, neither is having to manually adjust inventory on hand to push through the orders, and we cant get the inventory to go negative because we are using weighted average costing.

- issue the material manually at the start of the Shop Order and then just receive the finished product (no backflush)
- allow Reserve and Backflush from other locations if your Product Structure is not accurate.
Maybe
Not sure what magic you expect from the system here? You don’t want to drive stock negative, but still you want to be able to backflush the material without any error even when enough stock is not available? In such case I cannot really see how it can be handled I’m afraid.
Hello, I would love if the system would allow the inventory to go negative but it won't with an average weighted cost.
