Thanks Jacopo
I think you might have thought that I was referring to the declaration
form which allows for the productId to be specified. If so, then I was
actually referring to the section below it labeled "Return Unused
Materials To Warehouse" below it.
For the pizza scenario, say 1 pizza requires as BOM, 1 big and 1 little
dough with the big containing 2 little. Then for a production run to
produce 1 pizza, if two big doughs were stocked out as materials,
meaning 1 little dough will be left over, thenit seems maximum quantity
produced would be 1. So there would be no conflict returning the 1
little because it would satisfy the material return limit I proposed.
It seems as though the return app should know that the maximum amount
that should be returned is 0.5.
I can't think of a scenario where the following would apply:
materialReturnQuantity > materialIssueQuantity - (task1QuantityProduced
+ task1QuantityRejected)
Fractions seem to be the only quantities that should be able to be
returned when the following is satisfied:
materialIssueQuantity - (task1QuantityProduced + task1QuantityRejected)
== materialReturnQuantity

Shouldn't the "Return Unused Materials To Warehouse" form limit the amount of
materials that can be returned based on the amount that has been produced by the first
production run task? In other words, for a production run to produce 10 pizzas requiring
10 PEPPERS-G as materials for example, if the first task produces 2 and rejects 2 then
shouldn't the maximum quantity that can be returned be 6 since 4 can be considered to
have been processed into WIP-variants?
If I am not wrong that screenlet is intended to allow the "return" of
potentially any product ids and quantity, not only the ones being issued as materials; I
understand this may seem wrong but the idea is that it should be used to generate and
store in warehouse products that represent side-effects of the main manufacturing process.
For example, if you are preparing a pizza, and you realize you have issued too
much dough, you may create a small tortilla instead of throwing away the unused
material.
