Weight and Volume Calculation - Calculations

Weight and Volume Calculation

1.   The Old and New Order Quantities are converted to the Stockkeeping Unit of Measure (SKU).  (See Common Processing Routines - Unit of Measure Conversion.)

2.   The Change in Order Quantity is calculated:

New Order Quantity (in SKU) minus Old Order Quantity (in SKU).

3.   Using this Change in Order Quantity, the Change in Extended Weight and Volume (for the line) is calculated:

a.   Change in Extended Weight = Change in Order Quantity times Part Weight per SKU (from Part Master file).

b.   Change in Extended Volume = Change in Order Quantity times Part Volume per SKU (from Part Master file).
