• Key Concepts: 
  Match Factor is a feature in SAP Business One (SBO) that allows users to match the quantity of goods received with the quantity of goods ordered. This helps to ensure that the right amount of goods are received and that any discrepancies are quickly identified and addressed. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Match Factor, users must first enter the quantity of goods ordered into the system. Then, when the goods are received, they must enter the quantity of goods actually received. The system will then compare the two numbers and calculate a match factor percentage. If the percentage is below a certain threshold, then it indicates that there is a discrepancy between the two numbers and further investigation is required. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using Match Factor, it is important to ensure that all data entered into the system is accurate and up-to-date. This will help to ensure that any discrepancies are quickly identified and addressed. Additionally, it is important to regularly review the match factor percentage to ensure that it remains within an acceptable range.
