This tab is part of the dialog that presents the properties of a material that enters the process (as a resource).
•Price
The purchase price of the selected material can be set on a per-unit basis that is user-selectable. If the material selected happens to be a stock mixture, you can elect to have the price be calculated from the purchase prices of its ingredients weighed by the mass composition.
•Consumption Basis
This option defines whether the consumption of a specific component in the materials entering chart will be displayed with respect to mass or volume. In the latter case, mass is converted to volume using the density of the associated component at STP.
