Sorry, the bottom scenarios should be described like this instead:
materialReturnQuantity > (sum(WorkEffortInventoryAssign.quantity) of all
tasks for productId) - (sum(WorkEffortInventoryProduced.quantity) for
last task with inventory productId matching material productId)
In other words, WorkEffortInventoryAssign and
WorkEffortInventoryProduced would be used instead of the WorkEffort
entity to determine how much can be returned. Granted the quantity
field is added to the WorkEffortInventoryProduced table as suggested in
an earlier post.

I think you might have thought that I was referring to the declaration
form which allows for the productId to be specified. If so, then I was
actually referring to the section below it labeled "Return Unused
Materials To Warehouse" below it.
For the pizza scenario, say 1 pizza requires as BOM, 1 big and 1
little dough with the big containing 2 little. Then for a production
run to produce 1 pizza, if two big doughs were stocked out as
materials, meaning 1 little dough will be left over, thenit seems
maximum quantity produced would be 1. So there would be no conflict
returning the 1 little because it would satisfy the material return
limit I proposed. It seems as though the return app should know that
the maximum amount that should be returned is 0.5.
I can't think of a scenario where the following would apply:
materialReturnQuantity > materialIssueQuantity -
(task1QuantityProduced + task1QuantityRejected)
Fractions seem to be the only quantities that should be able to be
returned when the following is satisfied:
materialIssueQuantity - (task1QuantityProduced +
task1QuantityRejected) == materialReturnQuantity

Shouldn't the "Return Unused Materials To Warehouse" form limit the
amount of materials that can be returned based on the amount that
has been produced by the first production run task? In other words,
for a production run to produce 10 pizzas requiring 10 PEPPERS-G as
materials for example, if the first task produces 2 and rejects 2
then shouldn't the maximum quantity that can be returned be 6 since
4 can be considered to have been processed into WIP-variants?
If I am not wrong that screenlet is intended to allow the "return" of
potentially any product ids and quantity, not only the ones being
issued as materials; I understand this may seem wrong but the idea is
that it should be used to generate and store in warehouse products
that represent side-effects of the main manufacturing process.
For example, if you are preparing a pizza, and you realize you have
issued too much dough, you may create a small tortilla instead of
throwing away the unused material.
