Quantity Entry Method

The Quantity Entry Method determines the way in which the Item Entry line updates. There are two methods available:

1. Auto - You scan or enter the product based on the selected Item Entry Method, and as each item is scanned/entered the details appear in the list box below. Each scan updates the Pack Qty field and decreases the value in the Outstanding field. The quantity updated in the Pack Qty (and decreased in the Outstanding quantity) is based the Auto Quantity Entry Method setting defined in Company Control Initialization (CC00/Packing Station):
   • Single Quantity always update with a unit count of one (1).

   • Split Quantity will always update based on the quantity maintained in the Split Qty field of the Maintain Inventory Master (IM13) program. Once the Ship Qty is no longer divisible by the Split Qty, quantities of ONE are updated as the item is scanned.

2. Prompt - You scan or enter the product based on the selected Item Entry Method, then count the products to be packed and enter the value in the Pack Qty field. Click Update Line to update the information in the list box. The value in the Outstanding field decreases as the Pack Quantity field updates.

Note: When entering Products that are set up as Lot or Serial control in IM13, the Quantity Entry Method automatically becomes 'Prompt', even if 'Auto' was originally selected.
