Hi,
We are in a discrete manufacturing industry. Basically we manufacture cartons (Packaging industry). Our implementation is simple and the process flow is like after creation of production order, the store has to issue raw material by MB1A, mov type 261, than follows the labour confirmation CO11 and finally the FG posting by MB31, mov type 101. Backflushing is not active.

What i have noticed is that standard SAP alllows to post FG even if raw material has not been posted.........which seems to be a loop hole in the process flow. Because, only at the time of month end closing reports, we come to know that raw material has not been posted. So i thought of applying an error check at the time of FG posting.

Or, can i handle this by activating backflushing ?
The whole idea is to post raw material correctly and than post FG
Regards
Tehseen

If you are using repetitive manufacturing to report finished goods production then you can set the Error Correction for backflushing. You need to select Execute correction in Dialog mode and make it mandatory. This will require you to either recieve the necessary raw material first or change the components being issued to process the backflush. Nothing will go to the reprocessing log.

Subject: [sap-log-pp] Finish Goods posting block
Dear All,
I would like to know that is there any way that i can block finish goods posting if Raw material posting has not been made.
The point is while posting finish good, the system must give an error message that Raw Material postings are pending.
Appreciate your response
Thanks & Regards
