You can also see the rolled up quantity balances by selecting the Show Quantity option. Note that a rollup account can have the selection for Show Quantity even though Maintain Quantities is not used for this rollup account. When the Use Rolled Up Amounts option is selected, it will check if any of the rollup members do maintain quantities. If they do, when Use Rolled Up Amounts is selected, Show Quantity will also be enabled. The quantities balances will then be rolled up as well.
