Material event PEM command types

The Material Event PEM command types are used to trigger events related to consumption of raw materials or production of goods.

Material Consumable Actual

Used to trigger events and record data related to consumption of materials that cannot be directly associated with actual materials used in a production process.

The Material Consumable Actual command type identifies the consumables used during a defined production segment. The information collected includes the material, quantity, and unit of measure of the consumed material.

The consumables are not included in a bill of materials, as they might be items which are not individually accounted for in a defined production segment. However, these items might result in direct charges that are considered in the costing of a production segment.

Consumables can include utilities, such as electricity and water, common chemicals, or catalysts.

Material Consumed Actual

Used to trigger events and record data related to consumption of material that can be directly associated with actual materials used in a production process.

The Material Consumed Actual command type allows you to record materials consumed during a defined production segment. The material consumed is included in a bill of material as raw material, purchased material, or the output of a process segment.

It is recommended to use the Quantity attribute to define consumption of a resource.

Material Produced Actual

Used to trigger events and record data related to production of materials that are part of a production process.

The Material Produced Actual command type allows you to record the process of manufacturing a final product as the output of a production segment.

It is recommended to use the Quantity attribute to define how much material is produced.
