Hi,

The Quant

The content of a storage bin is called a quant in SAP ECC. A quant is therefore a material quantity in a storage bin. In Warehouse Management in SAP ECC, materials can only be considered and moved in quant form. The concrete number of materials and the unit(s) of measure are irrelevant; a quant of a material can consist of one or x pieces, kilograms, or liters. However the criteria the system uses during putaway and stock removal to decide which material quantity forms one quant or several quants on one or several storage bins is fixed. The criteria for quant formation/splitting are:

• Material number

• Stock type or category

• Special stock assignment

• Plant and storage location and, where applicable,

• The materials batch number

That's the quant in WM module!

Good day
