  "objective": {
    "intro": "The objective of this test is to validate that components configured for backflush are automatically consumed at the configured trigger point — operation completion or work order completion — in Oracle Fusion SCM Manufacturing, including correct on-hand deduction, yield-adjusted quantity calculation, and correct handling of backflush components with insufficient on-hand, without assuming every component is backflush-enabled.",
    "confirms": [
      "backflush components are correctly consumed at the configured trigger point (operation completion or work order completion)",
      "on-hand quantity is correctly reduced by the calculated backflush consumption quantity",
      "yield-adjusted consumption quantities are correctly calculated where configured",
      "lot- and serial-controlled backflush components are correctly consumed according to their configuration",
      "backflush reversal correctly restores on-hand and component consumption",
      "Oracle correctly enforces validation when data errors, configuration errors or security restrictions are introduced (DATA_ERROR, CONFIGURATION_ERROR, SECURITY_ERROR, EXPECTED_VALIDATION)"
    ],
    "scope_note": "This scenario covers automatic backflush consumption of components configured for backflush at operation or work order completion in Oracle Fusion SCM Manufacturing TEST/UAT environments. It does not assume every component is backflush-enabled, and does not cover manual material issue, material return or shortage-reporting behavior, which are covered by the separate Issue Material, Return Material and Material Shortage scenarios in the same Material Transactions cluster."
