reporting point backflush and milestone confirmation

[Former Member]

hello pp experts,

if we have the option of milestone confirmation then why do we use reporting point backflush, actually what's the difference between them?

Hi,

Milestone and reporting point both mean the same basically.

When used in Discrete Mfg setup in SAP its called milestone confirmation and in REM setup its called reporting point backflush.

both are for auto confirmation of certain no of operations before the reporting point.

Dear,

If u do confirmation without RP it is like order level confirmation co15 in discrt all teh opeation is confirmed at once.Here u canot use operation wise.

So in REM we use MFBF reporting point back flush like CO11n which carried out on operation basis as milestone operation is confirm previous also get confirm.

To see the RP overview after confiramtion at each RP u can use MF26, this will give WIP qty to be conformed at each reporting point.

Hope clear to you.

Hi,

Milestone Confirmation is for Discrete Manufacturing.

Reporting point backflush is for REM.

But the settings in Control key are the same for both.
