How to Add a Quantity to a Task
- Open the Task details panel by clicking on a task in the schedule.
- Select the Quantities tab at the top of the panel.
- Click Add quantity and start typing to search for a quantity using the autocomplete dropdown.
- Select the desired quantity from the list - it will be added with its default consumption rate and work calculated automatically. If the list is empty, go to Setup --> Quantities panel and add quantities there.
How to Edit the Consumption Rate
- Click the Consumption Rate cell for the quantity you want to edit.
- Enter a valid numeric value between 0.0001 and the upper limit for the task duration - the Work value will update automatically.
Note: Non-numeric values (e.g., letters) will be ignored. Entering 0 is not allowed — the field will revert to the previous valid value when you leave the cell.
How to Reset the Consumption Rate to Default
- Right-click the quantity row you want to reset.
- Select Reset consumption from the context menu — the consumption rate will return to the default value defined for that quantity.
How to Remove a Quantity from a Task
- Right-click the quantity row you want to remove.
- Select Remove from the context menu — the quantity will be removed from the task.
How to Review Quantities by Location and Total Work
- Add multiple quantities to a task using the steps above.
- Scroll to the bottom of the Quantities tab to view the Quantity by location breakdown and the Sum of Work total.
Tip: The Sum of Work reflects the combined work across all linked quantities and all locations assigned to the task. Use this to verify that your production targets are correctly reflected in the schedule.
