Hello,
I am comparing the pros & cons of Backflush with Manual GI to suggest the suitable solution .. the points that I could think at top of my head are as follows ..
Back Flush
Pros
Minimal human intervention
User's with limited understanding can function
Faster goods issue process
Cons
Large cumulative variance in system & actual stock figures over time in most cases
Not Recommended for high value material
Salient Feature: Suggested for low cost & less critical BOM components where there is not much financial/ logistic impact with variance within tolerances.
Manual GI
Pros
Accurate consumption can be captured
Better actual & system inventory figure sync
Accurate inventory figures enables better requirement planning
Cons
Recommended for matured users
Labour intensive (Manual activity)
Demand discipline in terms of reporting the consumption error posting due to stock deficit etc
Salient Feature: Recommended for high price & critical BOM components where consumption needs to be captured more accurately.
