Documentation

Definition

Contains the original notified quantity.

Use

When creating the inbound delivery, the notified quantity is transferred as the original quantity.
Should you want to change the notified quantity at a later point in time, because the actual quantity delivered is different, you can decide whether or not you want this change to be displayed in the Original Quantity field.

Should you want to change the delivery quantity in an inbound delivery that already exists in the system, then you will receive a dialog box with the following choices:

If you choose Yes, the delivery quantity will be changed and the originally/previously notified quantity will continue to be displayed in the Original Quantity field.
This will then document in the system that the vendor actually delivered a different quantity than that originally notified.

If you choose No, the delivery quantity will be changed and the previously notified quantity shown in the Original Quantity field will be overwritten with the new delivery quantity.
In this case, the delivery quantity that was changed by the vendor will not be documented in the system.

Dependencies

In the confirmation overview of the scheduling agreement, the fields Quantity and Original Quantity show you whether or not the vendor actually delivered the quantity he originally notified you of.

Example

In a shipping notification, your vendor notifies you of the impending delivery of 450 pc Steel_01. When the inbound delivery is created, the 450 pc are recorded as delivery quantity and original quantity.
However, you vendor actually delivers 500 pc. You therefore change the delivery quantity in the inbound delivery.
A dialog box then appears, offering you the following options:

Yes - Document originally notified quantity

Result
The delivery quantity is changed to 500 pc and the quantity variance is documented, i.e. the originally notified quantity of 450 pc continues to be shown in the Original Quantity field.

No - Do not document originally notified quantity

Result
The delivery quantity is changed to 500 pc and the quantity variance is not documented, i.e. the originally notified quantity of 450 pc shown in the Original Quantity field is replaced by the quantity 500 pc actually delivered.

Note

If you use this function, then the GR assignment should be set in Customizing for Purchasing, in the confirmation control for the used confirmation categories.
