1.The "backflush BOM materials at start": parameter = yes and I am using advanced warehousing. I am also having multiple picking rounds for one prod order because not all materials are always there at the start. I want to pick and then backflush what I have and pick and backflush the rest later. 2. This scenario is not supported in current system. I release my prod order with not all materials available yet.. No problem there. Warehouse work only generated for what I have . I complete whs work 3. Now the operator wants to start operation 10. We have backflushing at start. This is a process operation so it has a quantity. The system wants to auto flush but the picklist is created for all items in the prod bom, including the ones we don't have yet. 4.The auto backflush at start fails, the operator can't start the job 5.We need the proposal parameter that is avl when I manually create picklists. It would be set to 'picked' in our case. then we have no problem. Just like with sales order "shipping what you picked" we could at prod order do a partial backflush for what we have picked. The remainder we do another day. 6. The mfg execution prod order defaults needs a parameter "proposal" for the picklist which would solve our problem. I see this as a fundamental feature to make advanced warehousing work with production order execution functionality. But even without execution we would have the problem. If I just "Start" the prod order and want to auto flush at start. there is no way to tell the system that I want only the 'picked' items.

Thank you for your feedback. We need some more details to understand your suggestion better. Can you please help us by answering the following questions?

When you start only operation 10, then only materials for operation 10 should be flushed (if flushing is set up to happen at Start). If that is not the case you might consider logging a support case for our further investigation.

Confirming that the AVL on location principle is crucial and then there is no problem.
SOmehow the user needs to be told by a warning message that principle "start" in combination with advanced warehousing does not work right when you have partial pickings.

I think the new flushing principle "available on location" does exactly this. sorry. I knew about that principle but it did not register that is follows the closed warehouse work exactly. this principle is really not a choice, but a necessity.

This means that the parameter "proposal" should also be listed in the Start prod order screen general tab.
