Documentation
Definition
Specifies the time of production or use of a material.
Dependencies
You can use the consumption type C (continuous consumption) if materials flow continuously into production.
This is the case, for example, at a bottle filling plant. Instead of creating an individual order with material consumption for each bottle, you can create an order for 1000 bottles that are then filled one after another.
The same is true for repetitive manufacturing where large lots of a material are to be produced over several periods, for example, 1000 pieces in five days. Here the total quantity of 1000 pieces is not manufactured on the last day, but instead 200 pieces are produced each day. In the same way, the material does not need to be staged on the first day of production, but is distributed continuously over the five days.
