I have a customer whose industry is Textiles (rolls of fabric). The fabric can stretch during the manufacturing process. For example a roll might be 2000 ft when it is loaded onto the ream, at the end of production the fabric stretched and we were able to produce 2020 ft.
We have set up the roll as Reserve/Issue of Manual and the other components as reserve/backflush from floor stock.
The customer does not run 1 roll of 2000 ft but more like 10,000 ft. What I am finding is that even though we have set up our rolls as Manual (reserve/issue), the system wants to overcome from the next roll. If we select ‘simplified’ on the receipt of shop order, then we receive an error on the items to be backflushed from floor stock.
Ideally we would want to be able to select simplified for the rolls and backflush for the other components.
How would we set this up to accomplish this? This is a typical industry requirement.
Thank you!
