David,

I'm rather sure you've already explained to me the reasons/advantages of
treating the OrderItem.quantity field as an integer... but I cannot
remember it, sorry.
Could you please, quickly (re-)explain?

Thanks,

Jacopo

For sales orders the same thing should happen when deducting from inventory for reservation (ATP) and for issue (QOH), ie use quantity * amount, and again iff an amount is specified. Also in both cases the amount UOM should match the inventory UOM or be converted...
