| Backflushing |  |
| If you do not want to record every issue of a material or every spent production hour individually, you can apply backflushing instead. This saves time, but some precision is lost. Typically, backflushing is used for low cost material with a regular consumption. Backflushing does not reflect the physical material flow, but is an administrative process. Material is shipped to the shop floor, where it is consumed by an SFC order. However, the material is administratively accounted for on the order later. If a shortage exists for material that you are backflushing, you can use the Process Material Shortages (tisfc0221m000) session to process the remaining material quantity if the material is in stock again. For a description of the parameters that you must use to set up backflushing, refer to Set up backflushing. To obtain detailed information on how ERP LN backflushes operations and production orders, refer to Backflushing procedure.
