Check whether the cumulative delivered quantity or the cumulative
quantity received by customer needs to be corrected.
If the release has been applied per EDI, proceed as follows:
If the cumulative delivered quantity needs to be corrected, enter a
corresponding correction delivery in the dialog, and apply the IDoc
afterwards.
If the cumulative quantity received by customer needs to be corrected,
apply the IDoc in foreground processing as new, and correct the
cumulative quantity received by customer accordingly.
If the release is edited manually, enter a corresponding correction
delivery, or correct the cumulative quantity received by customer when
you enter the delivery.
