# Set the allergen consumption enforcement level

Set the allergen consumption enforcement level on the **Inventory Setup** page. Set the **Allergen Consumption Enforcement Level** field to either **Warning** or **Error**. This setting determines the system's behavior in the following situation:

- A production order is reported on and you add an item to the consumption that is not part of the standard production order component list.
- You perform the addition through the **Batch Reporting** page, **Process Reporting** page, **Consumption Journal**, **Recurring Consumption Journal** page, or **Production Order Components** page.
- The item you added has an allergen linked to it that is not present on the output item of the production order.

This can introduce a non-declared allergen in the output item.

When the enforcement level is set to:

- **Warning**, the system shows a warning when you try to add the item to the consumption. You can then choose to ignore the warning and continue, or accept the warning and stop.
- **Error**, the system does not let you add this item as a component and shows an error.
