We use lot numbers to issue all of our material. While we need traceability on almost all items we do not need it on packaging materials We would like to inventory packaging material but not lot trace it. Can we issue most of the items on a bill of material by lot number and back flush the non lot traced items?

View originalYes, you can do that, that is exactly what we do. just turn off Lot control on the Part Maintenance Detail screen and then on the Part Site tab turn on the “back flush” flag. There is lso some set up to make backflush function correctly. there is a Backflush Task that needs to be scheduled and within the BOM structure the parts that you want to backflush have to be tied to an operation that is set to Labor Entry: Backflush.
in our case we didn’t have any backflush operations so we had go back in and add a backflush operation in the BOO just for a place to tie backflush materials, the operation had no labor time in it.
