Documentation

Definition

The quantity that remains open for processing in subsequent sales documents.

Use

The system determines the open quantity by taking into account:

  • How much of the quantity has already been referenced
  • How the Completion rule field is set in the item category definition
  • How the Quantity/value field and the Update document flow field are set in the copy controls for document flow
  • Whether the item has already been rejected (for example, a rejected quotation item)

Examples

  • A quotation item is complete only when it is fully referenced by a sales order. If the quotation item quantity is 100 pieces and the sales order calls for 20 pieces, the open quantity is 80 pieces.
  • A quantity contract item is complete only when it is fully referenced by a sales order. If the contract item quantity is 1000 pieces, the sales order calls for 20 pieces, and the customer returns 10 pieces, the open quantity is 990 pieces.
  • You copy one quotation into another. The open quantity remains the same.
  • An inquiry item is completed by the first reference to it. If the item quantity is 100 pieces and a subsequent quotation refers to 20 pieces, the open quantity is zero.

Dependencies

If the Full Reference field in the copy controls for document flow is active, you cannot change the open quantity.
