Specifying Operation Type Code Materials

Although operation type code materials are optional, it is recommended that you use them.

To specify materials for all items associated with the selected type code:

On the Operation Type Codes form, select a type code and click Materials.
Select an item to associate with the selected type code. You can select both inventory and non-inventory items.
In the Std Consumption Rate field, specify the standard rate of consumption for the selected material when used with the selected type code.
In the Number of Dimensions field, specify the number of dimensions required when calculating the quantity of material used.
Select the Divide by Up field to divide the Material Usage quantity by the Up value, which is defined on the Estimate Job Orders and Estimate Operations forms. Clear this field to ignore the Up value when determining the Material Usage quantity.
Select the Use for Matching Criteria field to cause the system to consider the selected item when matching type code times. Clear this field to ignore the selected item when matching type code times.
Save the record and close the form.
