Quantity Factors

The quantity factor determines how stock control items or material order items affect stocks. You can assign specific quantity factors to transaction types (goods delivery, order etc.) in the Stock Transaction Type and Receipt Transaction Type info areas, >> Assigning Quantity Factors to Transaction Types and Assigning Quantity Factors to Receipt Transaction Types.

The following quantity factors are available:

  • + Pack.Unit: Quantities entered are multiplied by the packaging unit and added to stocks.
  • - Pack.Unit: Quantities entered are multiplied by the packaging unit and subtracted from stocks.
  • + Qty: Quantities entered are added to stocks as individual units.
  • - Qty: Quantities entered are subtracted from stocks as individual units.
  • 0:The quantity entered has no effect on stocks.
Note: Packaging units can be defined in the item master. They are automatically entered in stock control items records once an item has been selected.

Quantity Factor 0

The quantity factor ‘0’ can be used to enter delivered goods into the system that should subsequently be verified. Stock control and item records can be added using a receipt type that does not affect stocks (e.g. "Goods order" with the quantity factor ‘0’). The rep responsible for the stock can then compare the quantities entered in the system with the actual quantities received, and then change the receipt type, e.g. to "Goods delivered" with the quantity factor "+ Qty". Only at this point are the stocks updated in Aurea CRM.

The stock control records added automatically for the current rep within the scope of stock-taking use the quantity factor ‘0’, >> Stocktaking.
