What's the difference between quantity tracked and not quantity tracked PAR locations?

When creating a subinventory or PAR Location you must determine whether or not the subinventory is quantity tracked or not quantity tracked. Typically, you classify subinventories as not quantity tracked for PAR replenishment. However, you can also configure PAR subinventories as quantity tracked.

When a subinventory is quantity tracked, this indicates that each transaction for the subinventory updates the on-hand quantity. In this case, the Quantity Tracked check box is selected by default. In order to deselect the Quantity Tracked check box, you must first change the material status associated with the subinventory. Then you can update the Quantity Tracked check box on the Manage Subinventories page.

Note: The Quantity Tracked check box is only enabled when the associated material status is Active: Not Available for Netting, ATP, and reservations.
