Manually Calculating Items Consumed

A Calculate Manufactured and Consumed Quantities option is located to the right of each Finished Goods line.  

Manually calculating items consumed is needed if the Finished Goods product do not contain components (BOM).  The Sync Mfg/Consumed option should be disabled if the user prefers to manually list the items consumed to create a batch of finished goods.  The user is required to manually enter the individual quantities consumed total. 

The user may want to adjust the Total Consumed values rather than manually entering the quantities. For example, if an extra wooden handle was used (6 HANWOO instead of 5), the user will want to increase the Total Consumed by one handle. This adjustment may be necessary if a handle was damaged. The Quantity column cannot be incremented since this value identifies the number of handles per shovel. Complete the following steps to make this adjustment:

  1. Enter the total number of Finished Goods in the Manufactured column.

  2. Disable the Sync Mfg/COnsumed option on the Finished Goods line.

  3. Adjust the quantities consumed.
