Topic: tolerance (real usage from estimate)

Dear All,
I am working in textile ,and was studying starting using frontaccounting,
While I was trying it arround I found one main problem for me ,

When we produce the textile we have an estimate of usage of fabric (ie 1 Tshirt would consume 97cm of fabric)

but when we really produce we consume +- 3%

also we have several items cut at the same time ,
So my suggestions is that I would make the amount of items used manually, ie when the production is issued I get an entry form where I change the amount of usage when there is difference then the amount would be deducted from the inventory ,

Is this possible ?
thanks,
Best regards
Omar

Re: tolerance (real usage from estimate)

You can use the Advanced manufacturing. When the Work Order is created, the required items according to BOM is reserved so you should NOT issue the same items again. Only if more than the BOM is required. Then before running production, you can choose 'Issue' and select type 'Return Items to Location' and enter the qty that you are returning.
