Hi,

This controls how the quantity is to be dealt from the source document to the Target document. For example, your are creating a quotation QT; with reference to the quotation you are creating a sales order OR. If the quotation is for 1000 pieces. First you create a sales order for 750 pieces. So what should happen to the quantity given in the source document. This is exactly controlled by this field. In this case it should be 1000- 750=250 is to be updated. So, at item category level (AGN) it is given positive sign.

Take a different example: You are creating a quantity contract CQ; then you are creating a return order with reference to this quantity contract. Let the quantity contract was created 1000 pieces; after so many sales order the remaining quantity is 870 pieces. Now you are creating a return order for 100 pieces with reference to Quantity. What should happen to the source document Quantity contract CQ? This is controlled by the /- field. By logic, in this case the quantity contract should increase to 870100=970. So the quantity contract is eligible for 970 pieces after this transaction. That is why the item category KMN while copying from CQ to RE is shown as negative.

For example, if you change the sign from positive to negative in item category AGN while copying from Quotation QT to Sales order OR, the eligible quantity to be copied to the sales order will increase every time you create a sales order.

Hi

It controls the status updation of the "Quantity" in the reference document.

If this field is blank, then from a quotation (with 100 pieces of an item for example), you can create order for any number of item but the the open quantity will still show as 100 pieces in the Quotation. No updation takes place.

When creating OR from QT, this Positive/Negative quantity field should have "+ ve" value, whereas for the combination RE from OR, value should be "-ve" and for OR to OR combination, value should be " 0 (zero)" in this field.

From one Sales order (OR), you can create any number of Sales order (OR) still there will not be any updation in the reference status of the quantity in the source document.
