Depending on how an alternate quantity item is set up, you may need to manually record alternate quantity information whenever the item is entered on a document or journal line. When working with such an item, you can record this information directly on the transaction line. If several alternate quantity values exist for a single line, record them in the Alternate Quantity Lines page.
Steps
Select the appropriate document or journal line.
Select the alternate quantity field for which you want to enter alternate quantity lines.
The caption of the alternate quantity field depends on the function of the transaction line. For example, the field for recording the alternate quantity of an item being shipped on a sales line has the caption Qty. to Ship (Alt.).
On the Alternate Quantity Lines page, enter a line for each alternate quantity amount you want to record.
Enter the alternate quantity amount for a transaction line in relation to the transaction unit of measure defined on that line. You can enter as many alternate quantity lines as necessary, but the sum of the values in the Quantity field cannot exceed the quantity to handle defined for that transaction line. If the sum of the values in the Quantity field is less than the original quantity to handle, the program updates the amount on the transaction line when you close the Alternate Quantity Lines page.
Assign lot numbers to the alternate quantity lines, if necessary.
Choose OK to close the page.
