Quant 

Definition

Stock of a specific product with the same characteristics in one storage bin, resource, and transportation unit. The system manages different batches of a product as different quants. You can increase the quantity of a quant by adding to the existing stock. Quants can only be created and deleted using movements.

Use

Quants are used to manage stocks at storage bin level, resources, and transportation units.

When you put a product away into an empty bin in Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), the system generates a quant in this storage bin. When you remove the quantity from storage, the system automatically deletes the quant.

In the quant record, the system manages the data for the products collected together in the quant. This data includes:

·        Quant identification

·        Number

·        Batch number

·        Stock category type

·        Stock category

·        Stock usage
