If there is more than one entity at the first line position, the starting quantity is equally divided among the jobs. The starting quantities for each downstream job in the line is calculated using this starting quantity and taking into account the good and rejected production reported for upstream jobs.

   The number of decimal places are set according to the selected item. The maximum value that can be entered is 999,999.
