What is backflush

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Backflushing is a term used in manufacturing processes, particularly in relation to inventory management and production. When backflushing is enabled, it automatically deducts the components of a product from inventory when the production of the product is posted. This is done at the standard Bill of Materials (BOM) rate. In the context of NetSuite, backflushing is often discussed in relation to work orders. For example, when a work order is completed, the system can be set to automatically backflush the inventory, reducing the quantities of the components used in the production process. As for the question about which lot will be pulled from when multiple lots exist in the WIP (Work in Progress) bin, it's suggested that the system would likely follow a 'first in, first out' (FIFO) approach, based on when the lot was issued or received in. However, this would need to be tested in a Sandbox environment to confirm. To find work orders that don't have an issue or completion with backflush attached, you can use a formula in a summary search where you group by work order date, number, and built quantity. Then sum that formula. Any work order where the sum of that formula is greater than 0 does not have the proper issuance or backflush. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
