Raw Materials Consumption

1. Allow Continuous Material Consumption

If enabled, materials can be consumed without immediately manufacturing finished goods in a single Work Order.

This is useful if one or more time consuming products are being manufactured. For example a single product takes a month to manufacture and the raw materials are consumed daily. In a regular scenario, this won’t be feasible with stock entries. Enabling this option will allow you to create stock entries for Material Consumption without having to create an entry to backflush. End result is that you can see the stock being consumed in the Warehouses and can update the final manufacture entry for finished goods at a later stage.

2. Backflush raw materials based on

The Stock Entry of type ‘Manufacture’ is known as backflush. Raw materials being consumed to manufacture finished goods is known as backflushing.The method selected here will be chosen for backflushing raw materials:

• BOM – If user want raw-material items to be backflushed based on BOM of production item, then they can set this method under this field.
• Material Transferred for Manufacture – If user want raw-material items to be backflushed based on Material Transfer entry made against that Work Order instead, then they can set this method under this field.
