			<Paragraph>If you apply <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#Backflushing.ti" role="glossary">backflushing</Link>, SSA ERP issues the material when you report a quantity of the end product as completed or rejected. See <Link href="/baanerp/ti/onlinemanual/000167" role="manual">Backflushing</Link>.</Paragraph>

		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Floor stock</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>You can keep inexpensive materials present on the shop floor as <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#FloorStock.ti" role="glossary">floor stock</Link>. Floor stock is not allocated to a warehouse and is not included in material costs. To account for floor stock materials, a surcharge is added to the cost price of an end item. The supply of floor-stock items to the shop floor is triggered by Kanban. A warehousing order of the Production type can be created in which you determine from which warehouse and to what work center the material must be shipped.</Paragraph>
