The Qty column on the Inventory Production screen displays the quantities of each Component Item required to make one unit of the Production Item.
For example:
If the Production Item is a stereo system and includes two speakers and one CD player per stereo system, The Qty for the speakers is 2 and the Qty for the CD player is 1.
Note: The Qty represents the number of each Component Item required to produce a single unit of the Production Item regardless of how many of the Production Item are to be produced. The quantity of the Production Item to be produced is defined by the Qty To Make field on the Item Template screen.
