• Message class: C2 - Other messages production orders

• Message number: 226

• Message text: Backflush indicator cannot be set for material &1

What causes this issue?

You have tried to change the backflush indicator for a component with
assigned batch splits (item &V2&, material number &V1&). This change,
however, is not permitted for at least one of these batch splits, for
example, because material has already been withdrawn for this batch
split.

System Response

The backfluch indicator is not changed.

How to fix this error?

Create a new component with the same material number (&V1&) to which
you assign the requirements quantity not yet withdrawn (the
requirements quantity of the batch totals record).
If required, you can also cancel the batch splits for which no goods
withdrawals have yet been posted, or reduce the requirements quantity
of the batch split for which goods withdrawals have already been posted
to the withdrawn quantity.
For this new component, you can make the desired changes to the
backflush indicator and assign batches again.
