Segment Notes:

This segment is used to specify quantity variances and reasons for variances between what was ordered and what is available as specified in the QTY segment at line level.
For negative values (e.g. partial shipments) the variance must be expressed as negative.

Example:
QVR+-20:21++BJ'
20 units of the original ordered quantity are not available because the item identification code  is unknown.
