The component material is in an allocated status, and have been backflushed, and can't be scrapped. When I tried cancelling the MO, I was asked if I wanted to "Unallocate components" and I said "Yes". I still can't scrap the compenents and am unable to reverse the transaction which was created when issuing the compoent material.
Thanks, Steve

I am not sure why you could not do the reverse issue. According to what you said it should have been available. Probably need more research into that one. Has any MO receipts been done so the component material was consumed? Another way to resolve would be (assuming FG have been received) is to simply write off the FG. In that case, WIP has been cleared and the material is now in the FG IV acct. I am assuming all the components were or needed to be scrapped.

I apologize but the components had been issued, not just allocated. The MO Activity shows that the MO was created, MO Scheduled, Picklist Built, Status Changed to Released, Pick Document - Allocate, then Issued, and a Journal Entry crediting Inventory and debiting WIP. (It is the JE that I would like to see reversed as I cancel the MO). This MO also has a discrete PO. The manufactured material didn't pass QA so we need to scrap it and record the component material as a loss. Can you tell me the best way to approach this situation in GP?
Have you received any of the FG? Do you have the allocation in Mfg System Prefs activated? Or did you do it through the Compnent Trx Entry? You also mentioned at the end of your description that you issued material but also stated you backflushed. In GP Mfg, you cannot do both so you will probably have to give the steps you took to get there. If you use the MO Activity inquiry you can see all the steps the MO has progessed through. It is great to use for troubleshooting. Start with those.
