| To use quantity formatsLN registers and
displays quantities with different degrees of exactness depending on how the
quantity is used. Each type of usage is represented by a predefined format
code. The Format code table lists the predefined quantity format
codes. You must use the Formats by Generic Unit (ttaad1107m000) session to link the generic units to the quantity
format codes, and define a format for each generic unit. The format must be in
accordance with the type of unit. For example, you must not use a format with
many decimals for units that are only used with whole numbers. Example To register quantities of a specific unit: - If used in inventory,
using four decimals
- If used in sales or
purchase orders, using two decimals
take the following steps: - Start the Formats by Generic Unit (ttaad1107m000) session.
- Select the format code for inventory applications (Q20).
- Add the generic unit to the format code and define a format
with four decimals for it.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the format codes of ordered
quantities in purchase (Q13) and in Sales (Q25). This time, define a format
with two decimals.
As a result, LN displays units of quantities in inventory with four decimals. You can also
enter the quantities with four decimals in inventory adjustment sessions. LN displays ordered
purchase or sales quantities expressed in this unit with two decimals. If you
enter or adjust sales or purchase orders manually, you can enter up to two
decimals.
