Thx again g Srini Ravindra Kumar March 4, 2014 at 6:42 pm Good follow-up and extension to the earlier document posted on the same topic. Can you please confirm what happens if inspite of setting the All components indicator ON, if the user stays on the initial screen of cot tn itself and clicks on save without actually going to the subsequent goods movement overview screen? Is this setting again good for foreground/online execution only or can that be used to confirm all components with a mass processing option also? g Ray Zhou March 12, 2014 at 7.03 am dear Dora Simon, thanks for sharing, this is quite a nice documentation. very well explained. ray hips:foiogs sap com/201403 Othe backlusloic-basis! aneainmotr ‘The backflush ogc — basics | SAP Blogs g Rubharaaj Radhaakrishnan March 26, 204 at 9:35 pm Good Info!

Thanks for your effort [a2. Just one clarification, in the case of the checks for “Automatic GR" it affects only the automatic posting of the assembly or finished product (FERT / HALB). It should be better to divide this into 2 similar functions: + Backflush -> Automatic Gl for componentes. [Mov. 261] + Automatic GR for assembly or finished product. (Mov. 101} Both will appear in “Goods movement’ section in the orden confirmation. ‘Anyway just to complement your work, Keep the good job!
