Actual Delivered Quantity

Definition

The quantities proposed by the system during delivery confirmation are taken from either the scheduling or loading confirmation of the shipment, depending on the Balance load indicator set in Customizing for the Bulk Shipment Type :

If the Balance load indicator is set, the values are defaulted from the load confirmation transaction.
If the Balance load indicator is not set, the values are taken from the scheduling transaction, because the balance loading procedure has not been performed to ensure that the loaded quantities are connected to specific documents.

Use

You can enter the actual delivered quantities in the Document Overview screen by either accepting the proposed quantities by choosing Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step Activate proposal End of the navigation path , or by changing the proposed quantities. You can change the proposed quantities directly for each line item, or enter meter readings. Vehicle Meters and Rack Meters are created in the system using the Master Data transaction.

Direct Entry

The products and quantities proposed by the system can be confirmed, or if gains/losses have occurred, for example because of a change in temperature, the proposed quantities can be changed directly. The increases/decreases that may have occurred are checked against the tolerance table set up in Customizing. Delivery confirmation is not possible if changes in quantity are outside of those allowed by the tolerance tables.

You can assign a Reason Code to each document item to explain the delivered quantity. This is particularly useful for cases of under/over delivery.

The material quantities in alternative units of measure are calculated during the delivery confirmation process using the Quantity Conversion Interface (QCI). The values that are calculated can be displayed.

Entry Using Vehicle Meters

The use of meters enables you to monitor the quantities delivered. If one meter is used, the details can be entered directly for each line item. The meter start and end readings are recorded and they update the delivered quantity field. Alternatively, if several meters are used to deliver from one single compartment, the multiple meters function allows you to enter each individual meter reading.
