Warning: The system will show a warning to alert the user when setting values outside the specified tolerances on quantities.
Block: This option does not allow the user to consume or produce above or below the specified tolerances. - Default Under Consumption Tolerance (%): Specify the allowed percentage deviation for under-consumption.
