Quick Forms – Use Form Quantity as ‘Guide’

This option allows you to use the quantity entered within the form definition as a guide but not as the default quantity to be used, instead you manually enter the quantity to be used.

Instead of one column ‘Quantity’ which defaults to the pre-set form quantity and is used, subject to amendment by the operator, as the order quantity there are two columns – ‘Order Quantity’ and ‘Guide Quantity’. The ‘Guide Quantity’ is the quantity pre-set on the form, the ‘Order Quantity’ is the quantity to be used when the form creates the order details – press <Enter> against an entry to set the quantity to be used.
