Understanding Batch Step Transfer Quantity

Hi All,

I was testing the scenario with the help of an OPM user guide and I am confused in step # 2. I need your help to understand it.

As per the following example shows how material can be input, transferred, and output from a series of production steps:

Step 1: Add 10 pounds of Ingredient 1 to 25 pounds of Ingredient 2. The resulting 35 pounds of intermediate yields 5 pounds of Byproduct 1, and there is a complete, 100 percent transfer of 30 pounds of material to step 2.

Step 2: The material transferred to step 2 is processed and split as follows:

• 50 percent, representing 15 pounds, is transferred to step 3.

• 40 percent, representing 12 pounds, is transferred to step 4.
