Hi,

The content of a storage bin is called a quant. A quant is therefore a material quantity in a storage bin.

No. A quant is the uniquely identifiable material in a Bin. If you had two batches of the same material in a single Bin that would be two quants.

A Bin can contain many quants. Quants are uniquely identifiable e.g. different properties, quantities of a given material in a Bin. Same material, different batches (or other properties) and you have different quants.

There are many properties that can make a quantity of a material uniquely identifiable.

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
