Specifies whether the estimate concerns a variable or constant amount or quantity. Variable consumption means that the quantity of units used in the finished product is proportional to the quantity scheduled for the production order. The consumption is calculated as follows: Quantity in the production order * Quantity in the bill of material. Constant consumption is used to define a fixed amount or quantity for the production items, such as start-up costs. Consumption is calculated as follows: Consumption = Quantity in the BOM.
