Configure the Consumption control

You use the Consumption control to report consumption against a job. You can report the consumption for a consumable Bill of Material item that is listed in the table.

You can use the Consumption control to record this consumption as scrap from this control and change the lot data.

When you use the Consumption control in a System Platform symbol, you can associate it with the Button Bar control. For more information, see Associate the Button Bar control with other controls.

The operator can use the Consumption control to:

• Add consumption.

• Record scrap of consumable items.

• Set the lot data.

• Refresh the Consumption control.

• Filter the entries on the Consumption control.

• Switch the active user.

• View item attributes.

• Open or launch a form, if the Path to Form Program system parameter is set.

This control corresponds to the BOM tab of MES Operator. For more information, see the BOM Tab section in the MES Operator Guide or MES online help.
