  Quantity difference profile is a feature of the IS-A-EMM Enhancements to scheduling agreements MM (Outbound) component of SAP.

This helps to ensure that the customer receives the correct amount of goods and that any discrepancies are quickly identified and addressed. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the quantity difference profile, users must first define the maximum quantity difference that is allowed for each item in the scheduling agreement. This can be done by navigating to the “Define Quantity Difference Profile” screen in SAP. Once this is done, users can then enter the maximum quantity difference for each item in the scheduling agreement.

  It is important to remember that the maximum quantity difference should be set to an appropriate level. If it is set too low, then it may be difficult to identify discrepancies between the ordered and delivered quantities. On the other hand, if it is set too high, then it may be difficult to identify discrepancies between the ordered and delivered quantities.
