German term or phrase: steht in einem zwingenden Mengenverhältnis zu
I'm translating a software manual, this is a checkbox on a screen, so very little context sadly.

Menge halten − Die Menge des Setartikels steht in einem zwingenden Mengenverhältnis zum Hauptartikel in den Vertriebsbelegen.
Die Menge eines Setartikels mit diesem Kenner kann im Beleg nicht geändert werden, außer indirekt über den zugeordneten Hauptartikel.


Does it simply mean that the quantity of the set item is directly related to the main item in the sales documents?

Many thanks for your help.
