Define Reasons for Quantity Differences

In this activity, you can define the reasons for quantity deviation.

You can enter a key with a maximum of 4 characters and a descriptive text. You must also define in the Quantity calculation field whether the quantities that were verified must be subtracted from the delivery quantity (damage during transport, for instance) or whether they are to be added to it (overdelivery, for example).

In other words, the content of the Quantity calculation field also influences the POD quantity result since it is added to or subtracted from the delivery quantity.

Reasons must always be indicated in the proof of delivery. Since you may not yet be aware of the reasons at the time the POD is verified, we suggest that you set up a "Difference under investigation" reason that can be manually changed when you receive the POD.
