Definition

The quantity of the item that remains open for delivery. The open quantity includes the delivery quantity in the delivery that you are currently processing. The quantity is expressed in sales units.

Use

The system calculates the open quantity by taking the original delivery quantity and subtracting the quantities from any deliveries that also refer to the item. If you create more than one delivery for an item, the system adjusts the open quantity in existing deliveries every time a new delivery takes place.

Example

You create a sales order item for 100 pieces. During delivery processing, you create three separate deliveries that refer to this order item.

  1. Delivery #1 has a delivery quantity of 40. The open quantity is 100 pieces (the quantity still to be delivered, including the 40 pieces you already entered for this delivery item).
  2. Delivery #2 has a delivery quantity of 50. The open quantity is 60 (the original delivery quantity of 100, minus 40 from the first delivery, but including the 50 you are currently processing). In the first delivery, the system adjusts the open quantity from 100 to 50, to account for the delivery quantity in the second delivery.
  3. Delivery #3 has a delivery quantity of 10, to complete the original delivery quantity of 100. In the third delivery, the open quantity stands at 10 and the system adjusts the open quantities in the first and second deliveries to 40 and 50 respectively.
