3. The next page allows items to be scanned for consumption. Press **F6=Lookup** to show a list of component lines of the production order line. Only items in the component list can be scanned. Scan item 1200, or select it from the list. Press **F4=OK** to continue.

5. Once the quantity is confirmed, a consumption journal line is created in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and is scheduled to be posted by the Job Queue.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note** To see the result in D365 BC, go to the released production order card and go to **Related** > **Order** > **Entries** > **Item Ledger Entries**. A ledger entry showing a consumption of 10 pieces of the back wheel appears. The output line comes from another process called MFG_Output, ignore this line for this process.

6. The process returns to the scan item page, ready to consume another item. Press **F6=Lookup** to view the component lines. The remaining quantity of item 1200 is adjusted. You can select another item to consume, or press **F1=Back** three times to exit the process.
