to change movement type 261 to consider backflush qty in forecasting

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

Can any one let me know what to do to consider the following issue:

Client came to me saying that right now all backflushes using 261 movement type are looking like unplanned cosumption, which is not considering in the forecast.

Is there any setting to the movement type 261 by that the backflushes (unplanned consumption) are considered in the Forecasting?

if such setting is there I will create a new movement type for that: can I assign the new movement type to a particular to a plant?

OR

Is there any setting other than this to consider the backflush qyt to be considered in Forecasting?

Thanks in Advance

generally if backflush indicator is set in the material master with value 1 in the MRP2 view of the material master then you need not to issue components using MB1A for 261 movement type. It happens automatically when you do confirmations in CO11N / CO15.

Backflushing functionality will reduce the manual work when you have more components to issue for producing a product.

Please explain your scenario in detail.

Hi Srinivas,

In the customization of movement types, you define the consumption posting, also if it is considered planned or unplanned.

If at the moment your settings are such that 261 is defined as unplanned, you can just change that.
