Report operations using milestone reporting

Related topics

Milestone reporting makes it possible to automatically create operation reporting. In a bill of routing, certain operations are defined as reporting points, meaning that reporting is done manually for these operations. The system will backflush the reporting for all other operations from the present operation to the previous reporting operation.

Note: Reporting operation on Structure maintenance, Bill of routing denotes if the operation should be manually reported. This field should be set to YES for the operations that are to function as reporting points, and to NO for the operations that are to be backflushed when the next operation is reported.

Note: Backflushing of operation is only done if quantity is reported. Calculation of actual cost will be made based upon the entered quantity in relation to the manufacturing order quantity, for those operations that are backflushed.
