Hi,
The key to what you're trying to accomplish is the qualifier. There are a
few ways to do this, depending on industry and trading partner.

You should look at the LIN-QTY qualifiers, as well as LIN-SCC-QTY with
appropiate SCC and QTY qualifiers.
I suppose it's also possible to use the line action codes at LIN level,
similar to an ORDCHG (Not used where I am, but perhaps elsewhere?)
In principle, the difference needn't be noted, as the recipient has the
previous message.

Thus your example might read:

UNH+1+DELFOR:D:97A:UN'
BGM+241+35+5'
DTM+137:20000115:102'
GIS+37'
LIN++PID001'
QTY+94:100:PCE'  (QTY+94 = Substitutional i.e. changed quantity)
DTM+2:20000205:102'
UNT+10+1'

HTH,
Cheers
Mike

Subject: Edifact QTY segment to express quantity deviation


Hi everybody,

I want to express the updated quantity and quantity deviations or
differences from previously sent message within a single DELFOR
message. Does anyone know that the following example of UN/EDIFACT
DELFOR message and QTY - Quantity segment is correct for the above
purposes?

Delivery Forecast at 2000/01/05 (send to seller)
Date       Product ID  Quantity   Meaning
---------------------------------------------------------------
2000/02/05 PID001      150 Piece  Quantity to be delivered

Delivery Forecast at 2000/01/15 (send to seller)
Date       Product ID  Number     Meaning
---------------------------------------------------------------
2000/02/05 PID001      100 Piece  Quantity to be delivered
2000/02/05 PID001      -50 Piece  Quantity deviation from delivery
                                  forecast at 2000/01/05
                                  (for additional information)

Then, finally, seller will deliver 100 pieces of PID001 product
to buyer at 2000/02/05.

UNH+1+DELFOR:D:97A:UN'
BGM+241+35+5'
DTM+137:20000115:102'
GIS+37'
LIN++PID001'
QTY+113:100:PCE'
DTM+2:20000205:102'
QTY+113:-50:PCE'
DTM+2:20000205:102'
UNT+10+1'

(1)Delivery Forecast at 2000/01/15 (above data) is correct?
(2)But, if the quantity deviations or differences from previously
sent message is not "-50", but "+50", how to express these
situation ?

Any help is highly appreciated.
