HI,

Definition

This is the stock of any material with the same features in one storage bin. The system

manages different batches of a material as different quants. The quantity of a quant can be

increased by an addition to existing stock. Quants can be created or deleted solely through

goods movements.

Use

The quants serve to manage stocks at storage bin level.

When you store goods in an empty storage bin in WM, the system automatically creates a quant

in this bin. The system automatically assigns a quant number. The quant is automatically deleted

by the system when the material quantity is picked.

In the quant record, the system manages the data of the materials grouped in the quant. This

data includes.

Quant identification

Plant

Material number

Batch number

Stock category

Special stock indicator and number

hi,

It is a quantity of material with similar characteristics in a single storage bin. Therefore, if there is a quantity of the same material in a bin that has two separate batch numbers, for example, there would be 2 quants in that bin.

e.g

If a single storage bin contains 100 pieces of material ABC as follows:

Batch 01 = 20 pieces

Batch 02 = 50 pieces

Batch 02 = 30 pieces of inspection stock

There are 3 quants in this storage bin.

hopes this will clear your doubt
