Consume a Negative Amount
In instances where the wrong consumption item was posted, Plant provides the capability to enter negative quantities. When a negative quantity is entered in the Quantity field, an Applies-From Entry field appears, and forces you to select from the available consumption ledgers that are linked to the production order.
Note
The Plant setup in JustFood determines the fields that appear on the Material Consumption screens. You may not see all fields that are explained in this procedure.
