Spanish term or phrase: Cantidad recibida de menos
SPAIN. I know that "Cantidad recibida de mas" means "excess quantity", but can't think of the best/most succinct way to express the opposite (Cantidad recibida de menos). The terms appear in software strings which seem to be part of an order/export/shipping form or agreement. All suggestions welcome.

neutral  philgoddard: This wouldn't work with bulk goods - for example if a delivery was fifty kilos short.

  -> True, this only works for countable items. Perhaps "shortfall" would work more generally...
