Segment Notes:

This segment is used to specify any variances between what was ordered and what is ready for or has been despatched.
The quantity identified in DE 6064 must always refer to the difference between the despatched quantity identified in DE 6060 of QTY at LIN level and the ordered quantity. For negative values (e.g. damaged goods not accepted) the variance must be expressed as negative.

Example:
QVR+-50:21'
The QTY at line level identified the fact that 450 units were ordered and that 400 were being despatched, so therefore the quantity variance is 50 units.
