To save time, set the default consumption calculation in Manufacturing Setup so the Calculate Consumption report matches your preferred process automatically, eliminating the need for manual changes.
Feature details

To view the report, on the Consumption Journal page, choose the Calc. Consumption action to open the Calculate Consumption report. The Calculate Based On field defaults to your selection in the Manufacturing Setup page, but you can change the selection.
