Description
Subtract orderedQuantity from receivedQuantity.
Stock quantities can be counted as individual units, packages, or capacity groups. Tolerance checks compare a signed discrepancy with supplied bounds; those bounds are an input policy rather than a measured certainty.
Subtract orderedQuantity from receivedQuantity.
When to use this tool
Use Goods Receipt Quantity Tolerance Case when you need a packing count or quantity comparison under a supplied capacity or tolerance.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter orderedQuantity, receivedQuantity, underTolerance, overTolerance. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read variance, status. Use the output convention below.
Subtract orderedQuantity from receivedQuantity. Label variance below negative underTolerance as under-tolerance, above overTolerance as over-tolerance, and all boundary-inclusive remaining cases within-tolerance.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| orderedQuantity | Ordered Quantity | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| receivedQuantity | Received Quantity | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| underTolerance | Nonnegative allowance for a shortfall relative to the ordered quantity. | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| overTolerance | Nonnegative allowance for an excess relative to the ordered quantity. | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| variance | Variance | Required. Finite number. |
| status | Status under the explicitly supplied comparison or record convention. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Tolerances are absolute quantity allowances, not percentages; the labels describe deviations outside supplied limits and do not determine acceptance policy.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Verify physical counts and the applicable receiving policy before resolving a stock discrepancy.
