  • Default price and discount agreements
  • Sales order defaults
  • Delivery terms

Back Order Quantity

The unit in which the Back Order Quantity is expressed.

Note

The Back Order Quantity is by default expressed in the sales unit if the backorder quantity fits exactly in the sales unit and no information is lost because of rounding problems. If the backorder quantity does not fit in the sales unit, the Back Order Quantity is by default expressed in the inventory unit to prevent loss of information. However, you can also enter another unit in which the Back Order Quantity is expressed.

Inventory Unit

The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter.

The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock.
