Manage consumption counters

You can use consumption counters to track the consumption of a material for an entity. You can configure up to 20 consumption counters for an entity.

The consumption counter attributes are on the Consumption Counters tab in the Object Editor. For this tab to appear in Object Editor, the Entity Can Run Jobs and Enable Consumption Counters options on the General tab must be selected.

When you configure multiple consumption counters for an OCO instance, all the job positions contain the same number of consumption counters at run time.

For example, if you configure 3 consumption counters for the particular OCO instance and there are 4 job positions, each job position will have 3 consumption counters, and a total of 12 consumption counters are created at run time.

For information about the attributes available at run time, see Consumption counter attributes available at run time.
