Quantity__c	Number (13,5)	no		The quantity of the item. The default value is `1.0`.
UnitPrice__c	Currency (13,5)	no		The net or gross price of one unit.
GrossInvoice__c	Checkbox			Determines how to interpret the unit price. `false` = net `true` = gross The default value is `false`.
Factor__c	Number (13,5)	no	Quantity	The factor is provided by the quantity unit (custom setting). The actual quantity is divided by the factor.
BillingFactor__c	Number (13,5)	no	Quantity	Factor resulting from the billing period and the billing unit, used to adapt the quantity to the service period.
