Symptoms
This issue occurs when the Automatic BOM consumption field on the Automatic update tab of the Production control parameters page is set to Flushing principle. This setting indicates that all bill of materials (BOM) lines should automatically be consumed when a purchase order is received. If the Flushing principle field on BOM lines is explicitly set to Manual, you might expect that the BOM lines won't automatically be consumed. However, when this issue occurs, BOM lines where the Flushing principle field is set to Manual are automatically consumed anyway.
Resolution
If you're experiencing this issue, your production control parameters might be set up to override the Flushing principle setting on BOM lines. On the Production control parameters page, on the Automatic update tab, check the value of the Automatic BOM consumption field. If it's set to Always, the system will disregard the Flushing principle setting on all BOM lines and will always flush the lines. To make the system respect the Flushing principle setting on BOM lines, change the value of the Automatic BOM consumption field to Flushing principle.
