We use certain material to start up a production run, for example, on a mold setup we use a purging compound to clean out the molding machine for a resin change. What is the best method for capturing the material at the start of a production run where the run size can vary from 10-20 pcs to 1000-5000 pcs yet the usage is material constant? The intent is for the material to be picked up thru MRP and get ordered as needed rather than manually tracked and ordered.

You can add it in the Component Scrap field for the component. It is a fixed quantity per order

+2Additional info, the material is not on the product structure and is currently factory expensed. The usage is constant regardless if we are making 1 or 1000. assemblies.
