-If backflush inventory is not replenished before production is complete, it is likely that you will have reported pallets that are suspended. In this case, it will be necessary to first bring inventory in the backflush bins up to sufficient quantity to cover all outstanding production reports and second, to reconcile the shortage using the Whistle Backflush screen located under Whistle Office in Whistle GX Studio. This screen unsuspends the pallets and submits another backflush transaction. The quantity you must move into the backflush bins prior to reconciliation is stored in the "Backflush Bins Need" column of the Backflush by Order report.

 Whistle's backflush functionality permits inventory to be backflushed from Whistle containers on the production output transaction. This process improves inventory accuracy for backflushable items such as film, shrink-wrap, or cases that are difficult to issue because of their physical characteristics. (A user cannot easily measure how many feet of film were used on a particular BOM or pallet.) These items may or may not be lot tracked.

 = Configuration =
 The “Whistle ProdIssue” and “Whistle Main” configuration blocks visible in the Config Tool in Whistle GX Studio must be synchronized with the corresponding Production Issue window settings and System settings in Whistle GT. Only variables/settings that exist in both places can be synchronized. Whistle GT and Whistle Server/Whistle GX Studio store their configurations separately so you must manually synchronize them whenever you change one or both.

 ;Wsl Iss Qty: The amount that Whistle has issued.
 ;Required Minus Whistle: If this is a backflushable component and this value is not close to zero when production is complete it means that either TEE is behind in processing issues, the formula for the order changed midway through production, or something else has gone awry. See the [[GX:Backflush_Setup_and_Operation#Reconciliation|Reconciliation|Backflush_Setup_and_Operation#Reconciliation|Reconciliation]] section for more information.
-;Historical Softfail Shortage: When SoftFail is enabled and there is a quantity greater than zero but less than the quantity required to fully backflush one or more components of a reported output, the system issues whatever is available to production, and marks the output item as having been completely backflushed. Once marked as completely backflushed, the system will not attempt to backflush the components of that reported output again, even if the stock is later replenished. To reconcile this disparity, it is up to the user to manually issue any shortages. The amount that must be issued to reconcile the shortage is stored in this column. The shortage column is used only when soft fail is enabled and does not update to reflect any manually issuing that you might do. It's just there to give you a historical record of what occurred. It is for this reason that we recommend that reconciliation be deferred until after all production has been completed. Note: There may be a small cumulative rounding discrepancy between the Historical Softfail Shortage column and the Required Minus Whistle column.

 ;Backflush Bins Need: If soft fail is off and the system detects that there is insufficient inventory in the backflush bins to backflush the components of a given set of reported outputs, the system will mark all of the associated reported outputs as "suspended" until the user moves sufficient inventory to cover the disparity into the backflush bins and submits another backflush transaction using the backflush screen in Whistle GX Studio. Positive numbers in this column denote quantities that you must move into the backflush bins before future production reports can be processed or suspended pallets can be resubmitted on this order.
