Formula Material Weight %

This field is available for use only if the Molding industry pack is licensed and is enabled on the Optional Modules form.

Specify the percentage to be used to calculate material quantities for the job materials.

The total material weight defined for the operation must equal 100%. Other materials can be included in the job materials for the operation; however, if they are not given a Formula Material Weight %, those materials are not considered in the calculation of the total % weight.

This field is used with the Formula Material Weight and Formula Material Weight U/M fields on the Job Operations, Current Operations, and Estimate Operations forms to calculate material quantities, using this formula:

Quantity = ((Operation form(formula material weight) x Material form(formula material weight %)) / 100) x UM conversion factor
