Select this option to automatically consume the estimated process time when a production is started or reported as finished. The estimated consumption is transferred to the consumption journal, which is then posted to the ledger automatically or manually. Consumption occurs when route journals are posted to the ledger. You can override this setting when you start a production or report it as finished. Additionally, the following options are available when this option is selected: Fully consume the calculated time so that the setup time cannot be collected and Focus on overconsumption of process time (consumption is at least equal to the estimated process time; in this case, feedback can override the estimated consumption; if, for example, feedback on the setup time for an operation is equal to or less than the estimated setup time, the consumption is still added to the estimate; that is, the selection of resources is enabled for setup time for the positive difference between the calculated setup time minus the registered consumption transactions of setup time; if the consumption transactions for setup time exceed the estimated transaction, the consumption of setup time equals the registered consumption transactions).
