Pull components under lot, serial number, or lot and serial number control are handed somewhat differently. Lot controlled components can also be automatically backflushed but only if the WIP Backflush Lot Selection Parameter is set to auto-FIFO selection -- by Receipt Date or Expiration Date -- and there is sufficient inventory. Components under serial number or lot and serial control cannot however be backflushed without the manual entry of the applicable lot and/or serial numbers. See: Lot and Serial Number Backflushing.

Operation and Assembly Pull components are not automatically backflushed when you complete assemblies at an operation or complete job or schedule assemblies into inventory if the following conditions exist:

• the operation that assemblies are being completed at is not a backflush operation

• the components are under serial number or lot and serial number control

• the WIP Backflush Lot Selection Parameter requires manual entry of lot numbers

• there is insufficient inventory in the supply subinventory and locator for lot controlled components

Attention: Backflush transactions that do not complete because there is insufficient inventory can be resubmitted using the Pending Transactions window in Oracle Inventory. See: Viewing Pending Transactions.

Pull components that are not backflushed can be manually issued using the WIP Material Transactions window. You can use the WIP Material Transaction window to issue these components that were not backflushed because the backflush transaction was cancelled. See: Issuing and Returning Specific Components.

   To backflush or return backflushed components under lot, serial, or lot and serial control:

1. When the Backflush Transactions folder window appears, select the supply Subinventory and, if required by the subinventory, the supply Locator. See: Customizing the Presentation of Data in a Folder and See: Supply Subinventory and Locator Fields.

Attention: The Backflush Transaction folder window automatically appears only if you are backflushing lot controlled pull components and the WIP Lot Selection Method Parameter is set to require manual lot entry. It also appears when you are backflushing serial only or lot and serial controlled components. See: Backflush Default Parameters.

2. Select the UOM. See: Overview of Units of Measure.

You can use any valid, alternate unit of measure for the component you are backflushing.

3. Enter the transaction Quantity.

You can transact less, but not more than the required quantity. If you are transacting components in their primary unit of measure under lot control and the required quantity is a non-integer, you can only transact up to the largest integer. If you enter an alternate unit of measure for the assemblies, you must enter the transaction quantity in the alternate unit of measure.

4. Optionally, select the Reason code. See: Defining Transaction Reasons.

5. Optionally, enter the transaction Reference.

References can be used to identify transactions on standard reports. They can be up to 240 characters of alpha numeric text.

6. Choose the Lot/Serial button to assign lot and/or serial numbers. See: Assigning Lot Numbers and Assigning Serial Numbers.

7. Choose Done to save your work.
