Quantity Field, Family Line Table
Specifies the quantity for the item in this family line. Enter the quantity that will be produced when the whole family has been manufactured once.
By forming production families, some items can be manufactured twice or more in one production.
Example:
In punching processes, four pieces of the same item can be produced from one sheet and 10 pieces of another, different, item at the same time. The punching machine will punch all 14 pieces in one step.
Forming production families reduces the scrap quantity because what would normally be leftover scrap, when producing big pieces, will be used instead to produce small items.
