Vary the Type and Rate of Consumption for Manufacturing Components, Materials, and Resources in the Bill of Resources

Some resources need a fixed setup time in addition to a cycle time for each operation in order to create the order line's quantity. A manufacturing operation might also consume more of the material or component's quantity to provide test samples, allow for scrap during calibration or setup, or to support other one time activities. To meet the demand from this fixed and variable consumption, you can now specify more than one consumption rate for resource capacity, components, and materials in your bill of resources.

Meet fixed and variable demand for your components and resources in your bill of resources even when the same operation has more than one instance of the same component or resource in your fulfillment flow.

Tips And Considerations

If you want to use the Vary the Type and Rate of Consumption for Manufacturing Components, Materials, and Resources in the Bill of Resources feature, then you must opt in to its parent feature: High-Volume Order Promising. If you’ve already opted in to this parent feature, then you don’t have to opt in again.
