Does anybody know what is the estimated quantity functionality for? Does it have any logic behind to feed any forecast? What is the difference between using the estimated quantity column and the consumed quantity with the future periods. Isn't it logic that if the periods are in the future the consumed quantities are estimations?
Estimated QTY is based on initial contract and it shows what is expected to be billed in future based on contract.
Now consumed QTY will be ideally same as estimated but then you can override during the month when you are actually billing.
This can help in your reporting.
Example: If you have contract with Software service to use lets say 100 QTY licences or storage but during the month you get update that you used 90 or 105 then you can update consume QTY.
Now this information can flow using integration.
