Quantity Checks in the Sales Order 

Use

When creating sales transactions, the system executes different checks of the quantities entered. When you enter a requested quantity for a sales order item, the system can, for example, check whether this quantity is feasible. The system can check the following quantities and, if necessary, round them:

●     Minimum order quantity

●     Maximum order quantity

●     Delivery quantity

The system checks whether the order quantity does not reach the minimum order quantity, whether the maximum order quantity has been exceeded in the sales transaction, and whether the quantity is not a multiple of the delivery unit. Should this be the case during order creation, a message appears, however the transaction can still be saved.

Features

Minimum Order Quantity Check

The minimum order quantity check refers to a specific quantity that a customer must reach when issuing an order. You specify the minimum order quantity in the product master data.

The system checks whether the order quantity falls short of the minimum order quantity. You can set up your system so that it automatically increases the quantity to the minimum order quantity. To do this, in Customizing for SAP CRM, set the flag Minimum Quantity for the business transaction category Sales at Customer Relationship Management ® Transactions ® Basic Settings ® Define Item Categories.
