Set Up Component Items

To automatically consume items from a production order, you need to add a flushing method to the items being consumed.

  1. Choose the icon, enter Items, and then choose the related link.

  2. On the Items page, open a component item.

  3. On the Item Card page, in the Replenishment FastTab, populate the following field:

    Field Description
    Flushing Method

    Select when the component will be automatically consumed.

    • Forward: If a component does not have a routing link code, then the prioritized items are automatically consumed when the production order is refreshed.

    • Backward: If a component does not have a routing link code, then the prioritized items are automatically consumed when the production order is finished.

    If a production order's routing and BOM component have a routing link code, then the prioritized items are automatically consumed when the output is posted.
