Percent Process

In this example, the parent item is Soft Drink and its batch quantity is 300 GA:

Component	Quantity	Unit of Measure	Fixed/Variable
Vanilla	50	GA	Percent
Water	40	QT	Percent
Concentrate	10	LT	Percent

This table displays the percent calculation and conversion to batch unit of measure storage:

Component	Calculation	Batch Size	Converted Value
Vanilla	= .5 × 300	= 150 GA	150 GA
Water	= .4 × 300	= 120 GA	480 QT
Concentrate	= .1 × 300	= 30 GA	114 LT

The system uses the component unit of measure in the percent bill to convert the number of gallons that correspond to the percent for each component. In this example, the system calculates the water and concentrate components to be 120 GA and 30 GA of the batch size. The system converts the unit of measure to the component unit of measure and stores them as 480 QT and 114 LT.

You must set up the unit of measure conversion for percent bills to work properly. Verify that all of the components can convert to the batch quantity unit of measure.
