- Factor & Description: the Factor acts as a variable to adjust the quantity dynamically
- Quantity: users can set the number of items required per unit of the parent product.
- Scrap % Inclusion: accounts for expected material wastage, affecting the total item quantity.
- Result Calculation: automatically computes the relationship between item and parent product quantity using a predefined or customized Formula See Formula for additional information.
- Unit of Measure (UoM): defined in the Item Master Data/Inventory Tab, ensuring accurate unit tracking.
- Type (Make or Buy): display-only field that indicates whether the component is produced in-house or procured externally. This is determined in the Item Master Data/Planning Data Tab..
- Issue Type Selection: determines whether inventory issuance follows a Manual or Backflush method. The default setting is found in the Item Master Data/General Tab.
