What is multiple quantity in SAP MP-APP-DPE - Dynamic Pricing Engine?

SAP Term: multiple quantity

• Component: MP-APP-DPE

• Component Name: Dynamic Pricing Engine

• Description: A subset of a single opportunity line item. Multiple quantities define any number of subsets that together make up the total quantity of a single line item. Multiple quantities can also be used in conjunction with forecasting. Forecasted quantities are not included in any system calculations. As an example, you need to procure 5000 bottles of water but have them delivered to three different locations. Instead of creating three separate but nearly identical line items, you can create one that includes the basic item information and then define multiple quantities to provide suppliers with the different delivery locations and their associated quantities.

• Key Concepts: 
  Multiple quantity is a feature of the Dynamic Pricing Engine (DPE) component of the SAP Application Platform (MP-APP). It allows customers to purchase multiple items at once, with each item having its own price. This feature is useful for businesses that need to offer discounts on bulk purchases or for customers who want to buy multiple items at once. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the multiple quantity feature, customers must first select the items they wish to purchase. Once they have selected the items, they can enter the quantity of each item they wish to purchase. The DPE will then calculate the total price based on the quantity of each item and any discounts that may apply. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the multiple quantity feature, it is important to ensure that all items are correctly priced and that any discounts are applied correctly. Additionally, it is important to ensure that customers are aware of any minimum purchase requirements or other restrictions that may apply.
