• Item – The name of the item
• UN –The stocking unit of measurement
• Actual – The actual or historic yield of the item

• Chg – Select Chg to return to the Standard Yields window and make changes to the standard yields. Press F10 when finished to return to the command options. The following message will appear: "WARNING: Yields will be changed!!! Continue? No/Yes."

Note: When you update the window after changing even one yield, the system will replace ALL old standards with the new standards, which will likely be 0 if you have only changed a few. If you are only changing a few yields, a better technique is to select Standard command option below, which replaces all new values with the existing standard yields in Item Quick Maintenance, updating, and THEN changing just the few items you wish.

• Actual – Select Actual and the system will apply the actual yield of the item(s) based on the completing work orders for the item as the new standard yield of the item(s). Once the new yields are applied, the user will have access to the New Standard Yield column so that additional changes may be entered, if applicable. Press F10 when finished to return to the command options.
• Standard – Select Standard and the system will allow you to apply the standard(s) defined for the item as the new standard yield(s). Once the system executes this option, you will have access to the New Standard Yield column/fields so that you may make edits, if applicable. Press F10 when finished to return to the command options.
• Update – Select Update and the system will save and update any edits that have been made.
• Print(X) – Select Print(X) to print the new standard yields. A Tolerance window will appear; enter the desired tolerance percent. Command options will appear allowing you to print or choose from a set of other print options.
