# Fishbowl: Cannot reconcile WO items with multiple finished goods

> Reconciliation of consumed work order items requires all materials to map to a single finished good.

## 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.
