Two different Quantity columns in Material content report

[rks]

In a Material content report , there are two columns (E & R) for quantity. The first one adds up the quantity of MPNs for that item. What do column R signify. It always show the value as 1 . Where is this value being picked from?

In case you never got this answered, I was looking at this just yesterday while trying to figure out if my content reports were actually multiplying my substances by the quantity in E (turns out, it is not. not in content report of the REACH report). The quantity in Column R is the quantity the supplier puts in the subproduct section of IPC 2.0.

<SubProduct numberOfInstances="2" xmlns="http://webstds.ipc.org/175x/2.0">

  <ProductID itemName="Contact 2" xmlns="http://webstds.ipc.org/175x/2.0">

  <Amount UOM="mg" value="16" xmlns="http://webstds.ipc.org/175x/2.0"/>

  </ProductID>

In the part, it does do the math for the weights as you can the declaration states that there are 2 contacts at 16 mg each and WPA put the mass as 0.032 g.

In our set-up, we don't see this same math then multiplying by the quantity in column E. Would love to know if others have that same problem or if it is just the way ours is configured to our PLM.
