# Change Material Off-Flow Information

:lock: Material.**ChangeOffFlowInformation**

## Overview

This operation is used to change the Material Off-Flow Information, usually to correct a mistake.
It includes cancelling Rework or Temporary Off-Flow and changing the Return Flow Paths.

## Setup

No special setup is required other than to meet the preconditions of the transaction.

## Preconditions

* The **Material** exists and it is *Active*, not *OnHold* and not *InTransit*.  
* The **Material** is *Queued* and is Topmost (that is, it has no Parent).
* The **Material** is in an *Off-Flow* state.

## Sequence of Steps

### Step 1

1. Select a **Material**.
2. The **Material** Off-Flow Information can be edited in the following manner:
   * The **Material** Rework Stack Information is displayed - including information about whether it is a Rework or an Off-Flow. The user can then:
     * Change the Return Flow Path of any layer of the Rework Stack by specifying any Flow Path of the return Flow  - only for ReworkPaths of type *Rework*.
     * Clear one or more Rework levels - but the clearance must always come from the top to the bottom (like a stack) - note that this applies both to *ReworkPaths* of type *Rework* and *Off-Flow*.
     * For Off-Flows of type *Rework*: the Return Flow Path can be edited by selecting a new Return Flow Path.
3. Optionally, enter a comment.
4. Press **Change** to complete the operation.
