In this video demonstration, Shauna Langley highlights the Sysco Software Consumption Percentage App and how it will display a Consumption % Posted on the released production order list and this will be calculated when consumption journals are posted.
The Consumption Percentage App
Within Business Central when changing to status of a released production order to finished, the system will present a warning message if not all of the components have been consumed, i.e. remaining quantity of the component lines is not zero.
However, there is no indication of how much consumption is actually remaining. Now this is only an issue when the flushing method of the components is Manual as Backward flushing components are only consumed at the point of the status changing from Released to Finished.
The Sysco Software Consumption Percentage App will show a Consumption % Posted on the released production order list and this will be calculated when consumption journals are posted.
Once any consumption has been posted then the field is updated.
This highlights the fact that a lot more consumption must be posted before the order can change status. This field is also available on the Finished production order list in Business Central.
