### Understanding Quantity Protection

**Scenario**

* Suppose you manually increase the quantity in the **Purchase Order**.

**System Behavior**

* As soon as you click again on the **Quantity Field**,
* the system automatically reverts the value back to the original quantity defined in the **Purchase Indent**.

**Purpose**

* Ensures the Purchase Order remains aligned with indent quantities
* Prevents accidental or unauthorized quantity modifications

***

### **Verify Restriction**

**Modify Mode Check**

* Open the same Purchase Order again in **Modify Mode**

**System Behavior**

* Item quantities remain **unchanged**
* Software does not allow modifications because of the enabled restriction

***

### **Key Benefits**

* Protects approved indent data
* Prevents unauthorized quantity changes
* Improves procurement accuracy
* Ensures proper audit and tracking control

***

### **Best Practice Tips**

* Use this feature in approval-based procurement workflows
* Ensure Purchase Indents are verified before retrieval
* Restrict modification rights for better control

***

### **Final Outcome**
