Select this option to always consume the estimated quantity when a production is started or reported as finished. The estimated quantity is transferred to the consumption journal, which is then posted to the ledger either automatically or manually. Consumption occurs when route journals are posted to the ledger. You can override the parameters when you start a production or report it as finished. Additionally, select this option to focus on quantity when consumption is at least equal to the estimated quantity. In this case, feedback can override the estimated quantity. If, for example, there is feedback on quantity for an operation that is equal to or less than the estimated quantity, the consumption is added to the estimate. Quantity is automatically set to the positive difference between the calculated quantity minus the quantity of the registered consumption transactions. If the quantity of the consumption transactions exceeds the estimate, the quantity consumption is the same as the registered quantity.
