A320 - How to set a FROM WYPT

Hello,
pretty new on the A320, so I do have a question regarding FPLN sequencing. When I'm flying a raw data approach, the WYPTs won't be sequenced anymore, so overflying the WYPT at GS intercept won't put it as FROM WYPT in the FMS, the RWY won't be my TO WYPT and in case of a GA it will be messed up. So, my question is, how I can set the WYPT at GS intercept as FROM WYPT so that the RWY will be my TO WYPT (when I'm already flying with FDs & AP off)
Thanks for all hints how to do it properly.

As long as you meet the normal sequencing criteria, the waypoints will be sequenced on a raw data approach.

As Check Airman said, the waypoints WILL sequence provided you fly close enough to them. If you particularly need the runway to be the TO waypoint then you can ask your PM to make the runway threshold the TO waypoint with a radial inbound. They can then go DCT to the runway threshold and enter/confirm the reciprocal track and select the radial inbound line select key.

IF you using Radial In function after setting FDs off then In that case the FMS will not sequence the new-created TO waypoint when the aircraft overflies it. It’s an abnormal behaviour you can read about in the FCOM—> AC Systems-Auto Flight-Flight Management - FMS2 Thales Temporary Abnormal Behaviours-Waypoint not Sequenced. It was driving me crazy before I knew about this glitch as many times I ended up on final with the TO waypoint behind me and I could swear I had sequenced it! In that case you just sequence manually the first waypoint or use Radial In before you set FDs off. If you want the from waypoint simply reinsert the approach into the FMS. But why would you want it tho? Personally I just clear waypoints sometimes until the threshold if I have to. Less workload.
