• Key Concepts: 
  Book quantity is a term used in SAP's SCM-Warehousing and Manufacturing Execution component. It is the quantity of a material that is available for use in a warehouse or production facility. This quantity is determined by subtracting the total quantity of material that has been reserved for future use from the total quantity of material that is currently available. 
  
  How to Use it: 
  Book quantity can be used to determine the amount of material that is available for use in a warehouse or production facility. This information can be used to plan production and ensure that there is enough material available to meet customer demand. It can also be used to track inventory levels and ensure that materials are not overstocked or understocked. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When tracking book quantity, it is important to remember that the total quantity of material available for use may not always match the actual amount of material in the warehouse or production facility. This is because some materials may have been reserved for future use, but not yet delivered.
