Walkthrough: Using picks, or not, in production consumption

Customers consuming items in a location where a pick is required, are not always happy with the standard Business Central flow. This flow requires the pick, preventing to consume more than picked. To avoid being forced into creating a pick limiting the consumption quantity, we added setup on the location. Consumption can be posted immediately in the Released Production Order when using setup below.
