If you wish to specify a limit on the amount of material that can be consumed (as a total) over a specified window of time, you may specify it on this tab. Check the “Cumulative Amount Limit” check box and then type in the limit amount in the units of your choice. Please note that the selected units are not necessarily the units that the cumulative amount will be plotted.

If there’s a rate (or distribution) limit on the selected component you may provide it here. Select the “Rate Limit” check box and type in the limit in the units of your choosing. Please note that the selected units may not necessarily be the same as the units chosen to display the material graph.
•Time-Average Rate Limit
Sometimes it is more convenient to specify a time-average rate limit. Click on the “Time-averaged Rate Limit” check box and specify the value and the time window used for the averaging. This limit may represent This rate may represent an approximation of the replenish (or removal) rate possible for the selected ingredient, in lieu of detailed inventory information.
