Unfortunately I don’t have a good idea on how one specific location can be blocked from backflush (without having to list all allowed locations as inbound locations as earlier described). Was thinking of using a part availability control on this location, but such can only be setup completely block issue from part on a certain location, so both manual issue and backflush would be blocked which I understand would not work. One additional option might be to connect all your work centers to a production line (unless you are already using production line for another purpose), and on this production line define all backflush allowed locations as inbound and set Outside Reservation/Backflush = Reserve Allowed. This will restrict backflush for any material line connected to an operation connected to a work center connected to this production line similar as is setup per work center. Then you would at least not have to set this for every work center. I believe this could be solved by settin
Hi Bjorn, Firstly, thanks for the quick response. I think the details provided will help our process in some ways. However, perhaps I should clarify the problems further, as we have several scenarios:We wish to specifically disable backflush from one location. Reservations should be possible from all locations. Backflush should be possible from all locations, with ONLY one exception. The reason for this is that the location relates to a warehouse management system, which we have integrated with IFS. The transaction to issue parts from this location should always be triggered from the integrated system and not within IFS. However, we currently see parts reserved to this location and backflushed when items are received. As per your above explanation I think we could use the ‘Reserve Allowed’ setting on work centers, but we would need all picking locations, except for our WMS system location to be connected. This is more maintenance than ideal. This is the example from the original post.
