Documentation

Definition

Specifies the total quantity of a material to be packed for the Per part. qty and If full functions. The system takes this quantity from the corresponding document item quantity during document processing.

Use

This field has the following effects on these functions:

• Pack function
  The field has no effect for this function because the partial quantity field controls how much material can be packed in a handling unit, according to its weight and volume limits.
• Per part. qty function
  If you select an item, the quantity of material entered in this field is used as the maximum packing amount. This quantity is then divided among multiple handling units, according to the entry in the Part. qty field.
• If full function
  If you select the item, this number of materials will be packed in accordance with the weight and volume limits of the handling unit. If one of these limits is reached for the selected handling unit, new handling units will be created until the total quantity of the material has been packed.

Example

Partial quantity = 2
Total quantity = 6

• Pack function
  No effect. Only the Part. qty field influences this function. A quantity of 2 is packed.
• Per part. qty function
  3 handling units, each with 2 pieces of the material, are generated.
• If full function
  New handling units are created until a total quantity of 6 pieces of the material have been packed.
