Allow unknown consumption

There are two options related to allowing unknown consumption:

• Allow unknown consumption
• Allow repeat unknown consumption.

In both cases, raw materials that are received into the factory, outside of the scope of Infor MES are not known about in advance, so the first time MES knows about them is when the operator tries to consume them into the process.

If this happens, MES requests some extra information from the operator (such as the material and the quantity), and automatically receives the pack intoMES as part of the consumption process.

This prevents any validation from being performed on the inventory pack, so it's better for MES to be aware of the goods in process.
