Hi there, 

I'm a bit confused here: I have to choose between capacitor production and market for capacitor production  as my inventory data, but I don't know which one best suits my need. I need to do a CF for our company that buys and assembles these components for our final consumbers, so this case which one should be chosen?

Dear James,

 Please have a look at this FAQ which explains the concepts of markets very nicely.

Very briefly, a market dataset is a consumption mix of a certain product in a certain geographical region including transport and losses where relevant.

Kind regards,
