Byproducts affect formula yield

The calculation for formula yield is shown here: yield = total item lines quantity – total byproduct quantity

For this example, the calculation is: 112.5 = 127.5 - 15.0



  • Negative yields are allowed for the formula.
  • It might not be possible to measure the byproduct yield; for example, if the byproduct is a gas. If you cannot determine the byproduct yield, the formula yield cannot be calculated accurately by Optiva.
