Understanding Commitments at a Work Center Location

In order to commit inventory to be issued to a particular work order, you need to define the values that allow you to make the material available where and when it is needed. For this purpose, you need to specify the work center for the routing instructions, as well as the issue location for the work center. You also specify the operation sequence at which each component is needed. If you work in a process manufacturing environment, you do not have a bill of material. Finally, you need to specify in the Manufacturing Constants program (P3009) which backflush option to use for the branch/plant.
