Quantity (Complex value)

The ERP domain model declares a special type for quantity properties.

The quantity is represented by value and measurement unit.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
Unit	String	The measurement unit of the quantity represented by it's code.
Value	Decimal	The value of the quantity.

Domain API Example:

{
  "Quantity": {
    "Value": "5.555",
    "Unit": "PCS"
  }
}

Update behavior

When a Quantity value is submitted through the Domain API, ERP.net evaluates the Unit code in the context of the current entity.

If the dependent measurement unit reference is stored in the same entity, ERP.net searches for a measurement unit whose code matches Quantity.Unit and assigns that reference automatically.

If the measurement unit reference is not stored in the same entity, Quantity.Unit does not update it. In that case, the code in Quantity.Unit must match the already effective measurement unit.

For more details, see Property Dependencies and Update Order.

Note

Because Quantity is odata complex object it can not participate in uri $filter query parameter. To filter by Amount or Quantity properties you can use the following:

~/Logistics_Inventory_StoreTransactionLines?$filter=QuantityValue ge 5.555 ~/Crm_Sales_SalesOrderLines?$filter=LineAmountValue ge 5.555
