BOM Item Tolerances

A tolerance can be defined for BOM items if exact quantities are difficult to issue during production.

The tolerance is defined as a multiplier, which works out the upper and lower tolerance as a percentage. Global tolerance can be defined at plant level and applied to all BOM items. Each individual BOM item optionally defines a tolerance that supersedes the global setting, if specified.
