Segment Notes:

This segment is used to specify any variances between what was ordered, what was shipped/despatched and what is being invoiced.
For negative values (e.g. damaged goods not accepted) the variance must be expressed as negative.

Example:
QVR+-20:21'
This example shows a variance of 20 between what is being invoiced (QTY at LIN level) and what was originally ordered.
