I am hoping to understanding if the following functionality is possible in IFS Apps 10 UPD 15. Currently, I have a Lot/Batch tracked part where we define a Lot number upon receipt. Currently, the part is set to backflush. I know that if I change the consumption method (issuing), I can force the system to prompt for a Lot Number. Is the same possible for Backflushing? Ideally, when the user is reporting a Shop Order completed qty in SFWB, the system would prompt them to enter the Lot Number of the component part they are consuming. I have not seen anything in the help that would indicate if this is possible. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

You can try below configuration:
Set the Reserve/Issue Method to Backflush for the component. Also make sure it is connected to the operation.
This will make sure the component is not automatically reserved, and hence, no specific lot/batch number is allocated
The operator can now use the Issue Operation Material Manually. In this dialog the user can enter the quantity consumed from each lot/batch number.
since the component part is lot/batch tracked (and assumed the manufactured parent part is also lot/batch tracked and set to multilevel tracked), an error would be given like below if the operator tries to report the operation quantity before having issued the material.
