Overridden Consumption

Displays the sum of all overridden consumption values entered on the Consumption tab of the license properties. See Overridden Consumption for more details.

Tip: Because the totals displayed on this tab are simple copies of the relevant column totals on the Consumption tab, you cannot expect any mathematical relationship between the values here. An override value on one device may increase its consumption, while another override for a different device may decrease its consumption. Consider this simplified example for three devices, with the column totals in bold below:

Points from inventory	Override entered manually	Resulting consumption
50	30	30
50	60	60
50	0	50
150	90	140

There is no direct mathematical relationship between these three totaled values. You can only conclude that someone has applied 90 points of overrides somewhere in the list of devices, and that the net result has been to reduce the overall consumption from 150 to 140. For more about the relationships between various consumption fields (with special emphasis on IBM PVU licenses), see Relationships Between Consumption Fields.
