    • quantity = scheduled quantity + registered quantity

    The scheduled time is the time at which the last end product batch is ready or, the end of that part of the outflow from the last batch that flows to that order. Start is the beginning of inflow into the first end product batch.

  8. Specify a value for extra shelf life. The maximum extra shelf life must be specified for the relevant end item. The best before date on the order is calculated based on the shelf life data and the start time of the first batch related to it.
