Hello everyone!
We actually have to go through several processes to produce a single product.
However, we only make one Job order on Epicor, and after all processes are completed, we put the material through “Backflush”. As a result, the material actually input in the previous process is put in late after all processes are completed on Epicor.
So the Inventory accuracy is degraded
Is there any way to input materials for each detailed process without dividing the Job order?
Simple backflush, all materials coming from stock, no serial numbers?
If so, I’ve seen some people add an initial operation to their jobs called “pick parts”.
They attach all their backflush materials to that “pick part” op.
i.e. they complete that op and inventory is relieved first instead of last.
If the materials are set to backflush, you can relate them to the operation that they are used on, then they should backflush when the operation is reported.
You can also report quantities more often which will backflush components as you report finished qty’s.
