Select whether consumption has a variable or constant volume or quantity.

• Variable- This means that the number of units in the finished item is proportional to the number of items produced. Variable consumption is calculated as follows: Production Quantity x Quantity (in the BOM) = Consumption (variable)

  The unit consumption is equal to the quantity in the BOM.

• Constant- This means there is a fixed volume or quantity required for the production, regardless of quantity produced. Constant consumption is calculated as follows:

  Quantity = Consumption (constant)
