Granules
This form type allows you to perform material quantity calculation for granules. This calculation considers the Number of Cavities, Weight of all Cavities and Gating and Feeders, so that it needn't be calculated and documented outside FACTON.
The following example shows the use of a material quantity calculation:
Step 1: Create Should Cost Calculation
