HI

Positive/Negative quantity [+]: This controls whether, during copying of an item, the quantity or the value of the item will have a positive impact, a negative impact, or no effect at all. For example, a contract to a return will have a negative effect, a

quotation to an order will have a positive effect, an order to an order copy will have no effect, and so on.

Quantity is calculated positively or negatively. It indicates during copying the quantity or value in the target document has a negative effect or positive effect or no effect at all. The quantity is still to be completed in the source document.

Use: System uses this indicator to determine how the quantity in the source document is affected.

Ex: If you create a quotation for 100 pieces and raised the sales order for 80 pieces, then quotation has a positive effect. That means 80 pieces of the quotation treated as u201Ccompletedu201D and 20 pieces of the quotation treated as u201Cremained to be completedu201D.

In sales document:

Quotation Sales order: Positive

Contract Return: Negative

Sales order Sales order: No effect

Billing document: Delivery Invoice: Positive

Delivery Cancellation: Negative

Delivery Pro-forma invoice: No effect

Hi,

The positive/negative qty option is used for document flow if you have specified the completion indicator on the item category.you can leave this field blank when copying from sales order to another sales order.But for copying from a quote or a contract to sales order,you may want to reduce the open qty on the quote or contract when order is created.

It also determines how the value taken from the source document will affect the billing document.

example: Delivery to Invoice :Positive

Delivery to cancellation : Negative

Delivery to Pro-forma Invoice: No effect

Krishna.
