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).
