Aggregate Collective Backflush - MF70
Application component: Repetitive Manufacturing
App type: SAP GUI
Description:   Fast response times and the ability to process high volumes of data quickly are the two main factors in backflushing. By separating the individual backflushing processes, you can significantly improve performance as these processes are split into ones critical to performance and ones that are not critical to performance.  In the standard system, the following backflushing processes are automatically linked:  Posting goods receipts   Backflushing material components   Calculating actual costs when posting production activities   Reducing the production quantities (planned independent requirements)   Adjusting the dependent requirements of the components in the reporting point backflush   Reducing the capacity requirements   Adjusting the Logistics Information System   It is possible to separate the two backflushing processes, "posting goods issues" and "posting production activities" which are both critical as far as performance is concerned. This means that these processes are not posted at the same time in the final backflush. Instead, they are collected in a work list and are processed later in the background.  
Key features:   You can separate the backflushing processes for the:  Final backflush for stock materials   Reporting point backflush for stock materials   Final backflush for make-to-order (account assignment to product cost collector)   Activity backflush for stock materials   The system separates the backflushing processes for all materials controlled with a repetitive manufacturing profile which contains a process control profile. This means that, in the final backflush, the system only posts the goods receipt and reduces capacities. All other functions are recorded in a work list according to your settings in the process control profile.  The issue and production activity postings are recorded at every reporting point backflush.  If you have not set any aggregation in the process control profile, the individual, separated processes are carried out later at a time of your choice.  If you have set the aggregation for backflushing components and for posting the production activities, the system proceeds as follows:  Backflushing process - goods issue posting:   The BOM explosion is carried out for the selected materials to calculate the component quantities.  With no reference to the planned order, the goods receipt quantities are cumulated according to the selection criteria in the collective backflush and the BOMs are exploded for the cumulated quantity per material.  With reference to the planned order, BOM explosion is carried out per planned order.   The goods issues are posted. The system carries out an aggregate posting for the same components.  Backflushing process - production activities:   The goods receipt quantities are aggregated. The production activities are calculated in proportion to this cumulated quantity. The system bases this calculation on the routing used for the cost estimate.  It is not possible to use a standard cost estimate for a configurable material.   Note   You can separate the backflushing processes for make-to-stock materials as well as for make-to-order materials. However, the process with make-to-order materials is only possible if the costs for the material are not assigned to the sales order account but to a product cost collector. You can create this product cost collector from the main repetitive manufacturing menu. For more information on the product cost collector for make-to-order materials, please refer to the SAP Documentation, CO Cost Object Controlling .  Two functions are available for processing the partial processes defined in the process control profile:  A dialog transaction for starting the report.   A background job (Customizing for Repetitive Manufacturing).   In the separated backflush, you can also reverse the goods receipt as long as the goods issues have not been subsequently posted. However, you cannot reverse goods receipts if the goods issue has already been backflushed.  
Production Operator - Repetitive Manufacturing : 
Operates the machines or does manual assembly activities on the production line to produce as per the planned production schedule of the shift. Reports Yield, Scrap, and material consumption deviations into the system.
