The aim of this document is to describe the procedure of manual production declaration in FCS and
reversal of it.
3. Working Procedure

3.1. Manual production declaration in SAP

We are able to make manual production declaration in SAP when production version is created and
material cost collector is validated.

3.1.1. Production declaration – MFBF

Start transaction MFBF

At the confirmation screen select “Assembly

backflush” and enter following:

• Quantity to be declared
• Material number to be declared

Press enter and Plant and storage location

where declared material will be stored is
entered based on production version setup.

Click on “SAVE” icon and production

declaration is posted.

Declared material is posted on destination

storage location and raw materials are
consumed based on declared quantity and
BOM of the material.

Goods receipt and Goods issue is posted with

displayed material document
3.1.2. Production declaration with correction of components – MFBF

Start transaction MFBF

At the confirmation screen select “Assembly

backflush” and enter following:

• Quantity to be declared
• Material number to be declared

Press enter and Plant and storage location

where declared material will be stored is
entered based on production version setup.

Click on “POST WITH CORRECTION” icon

On next screen we can see components and

quantity based on material BOM and quantity
to declare.
By selecting the line with component and
clicking on icon we can delete line with
component which was not used during
production.

We can also change the quantity of the

components to consume from the stock.

Click on “SAVE” icon and production

declaration is posted.

Declared material is posted on destination

storage location and raw materials are
consumed based on quantity and list of
materials.

Goods receipt and Goods issue is posted with

displayed material document
3.2. Reversal of production declaration in SAP
Three processes are available in SAP to reverse production declaration.
• Based on material document number
• Based on material document number searched based on material number
• Based on quantity to reverse

3.2.1. Reversal based on material document – MF41

Start transaction MF41

Select “Material Document” and enter Material

document number for reverse

Click on “Execute” icon

Information popup is displayed

Click on “OK” icon

Material document is reversed now

3.2.2. Reversal based on searched material document– MF41

Start transaction MF41

You can enter your searching criteria to

searching screen like:

• Plant
• Material
• Posting date
• User name

Click on “Execute” icon

Choose posting you want to reverse by

clicking on material and click on “REVERSE”
icon

Material document is reversed now

3.2.3. Reversal based on quantity to reverse – MFBF

Start transaction MFBF

At the confirmation screen select “Assembly

backflush” and enter following:

• Quantity to be declared
• Material number to be declared

Press enter and Plant and storage location

where declared material will be stored is
entered based on production version setup.

Click on “DOC. – NEUTRAL REVERSAL” icon

and reversal of production declaration is
posted.

Reversed material is reversed from

destination storage location and raw materials
are reversed based on declared quantity and
BOM of the material.

Minus icon is displayed next to quantity to

revese.

Click on “SAVE” icon

Goods receipt and Goods issue is posted with

displayed material document
3.3. Production declaration document log
All the documents related to production declaration are stored in the ECC system and can be
displayed later by the log information about the movement.

3.3.1. Document log – MF12

Start transaction MF12

At the selection screen select “Make-To-

Stock” and enter following:

• Plant
• Material number for which documents
should be displayed
• Posting Date

Click on “EXECUTE” icon

On the result screen we see all the postings

related to selected material:

icon – Reversal based on finnished

material and quantity
icon – Reversed document
icon – Reversal document which
refers to a backflush document
Without any icon – Standard posting

3.4. Post processing of the component backflush

Sometimes some components are not backflushed because there is no quantity on stock or material
is not created on the stock which is assigned for consumption or is blocked by some user.
Backflush errors will be generated by the system when errors are identified at time of production
declaration.
Standard jobs are running MF47 transaction to reprocess the component backflush but it is also
recommended to check MF47. Especially before inventory when MF47 has to be cleaned.
3.4.1. Post processing of the component backflush

Start transaction MF47

Enter your plant number and posting date you

want to check for post processing

Click on “EXECUTE” icon

On the result screen we see all not consumed

components with a quantity, storage location
and production line where it was consumed

If you are sure that material shouldn’t be

consumed (substituted by other material or
really not consumed) you just click on the
“DELETE” icon

Deletion of materials from MF47 has to be

done before each inventory
Select the line with material and click on icon
“POSTPROCESS SELECTED
POSTPROCESSING RECS” if you want to
post process backflush.

Material has to have a stock and shouldn’t be

blocked.

On the next screen you see list of not

processed postings.

Click on “SAVE” icon

Log of the post processing is displayed. We

can click on “DISPLAY LOG” icon to display
the detailed log.

Log showed us that all not processed

backflushed were processed now with the
Goods Issue document

Leave the transaction

4. Conclusion
In FCS we have a possibility of manual booking of production also manual booking with correction of
quantities of components, or alternative components to use.
Every production declaration can be reversed or cancelled in the system based on material number or
document with which we declare production.
Not processed components consumption is stored in the system and can be reprocessed when
components are ready to consume.

All the movements are stored in the system and we can display a log of them.
