Quantity is off by a multiple
iiko got two instead of forty-eight. It's almost always the container or the conversion factor.

The supplier delivered two cases of 24 bottles, but iiko shows a receipt of 2 units. Or the other way around — 1152, if the multiplier got applied twice.
Check in order#
- The product's unit of measure in iiko. Is it tracked in pieces, cases, kilograms? Everything else depends on this.
- The container picked on the line. If the product has containers set up, the line needs the one that matches the invoice.
- The Factor field on the line. If a factor is set, the quantity gets multiplied by it; the result is the blue "in iiko" badge on the right. Check that it isn't set on top of an already-picked container — then the recalculation happens twice.
- The blue "in iiko" badge itself. That's the actual quantity that will go to iiko. Watch that number, not the quantity on the invoice.
How to fix it#
If your books track bottles, but the delivery came in cases — pick the product with the "case" container, or set the factor to 24. Pick one, not both.
If the multiplier got applied twice — remove the factor and keep the container. The container goes to iiko with the document, and iiko does the recalculation itself.
If the document is already in iiko — fix it here and click to update the document; a posted one needs to be unposted in BackOffice first.
Careful
The conversion factor belongs to the product for this supplier, not to a single invoice. Change it, and you change the rule for every future invoice from that supplier. That's useful — set it up once — and risky: one accidental edit carries forward.
To keep it from happening again#
Before sending, run your eye down the blue "in iiko" badges on the right of the lines — they show exactly what iiko will get. Thirty seconds per document is cheap insurance against a stock balance that doesn't add up.
