数量 and 量 both have the meaning of quantity/volume, but my understanding is that 数量 is usually used with numbers for something that is countable (hence the 数):
数量限定10個 (limited stock of 10 available)
数量:2個 (number of items: 2) -used on order forms and internet auctions and such
量 refers to the volume of something (usually not specified in numbers): 量が多い (large amount), 量が少ない (small amount)... etc.
I hope that helps!!
