    The additional quantity is seen as a dependent factor for a quantity in

    You do not want to use the quantity, but rather the additional quantity.
    This does not make sense, since the additional quantity does not have
    its own key within the FI-SL tables. That is why you would not be
    able to differentiate between records posted one after the other to
    additional quantities.
