How to: Post Consumption from Service Orders

It is not possible to post consumption before posting shipment and you cannot post consumption for lines where all quantity shipped has already been invoiced. Note that you can post consumed items, hours, or costs only for a posted shipment that has no posted invoices or consumption.
