Why does Fishbowl say "You can only reconcile WO items consumed on work orders with only one finished good"?

This error occurs when you try to reconcile consumed materials on a work order where the consumed items are allocated to multiple finished goods. Fishbowl's reconciliation requires all consumed items in a batch to map to exactly one finished product.

Fishbowl: Cannot reconcile WO items with multiple finished goods

What it means

This error appears when you attempt to reconcile consumed materials on a work order where those materials relate to multiple finished goods. Fishbowl’s reconciliation process enforces a constraint: all consumed items in a given reconciliation batch must map to only one finished product—not split across several.

What to check

Finished goods on the work order: How many different finished products are listed? If more than one has consumed materials, reconciliation will fail.
Consumed material allocation: Check whether materials are split across multiple product lines or finished goods on the same work order.
Consider splitting: If materials logically belong to different products, you may need separate work orders—one finished good per work order.
