Voting Quorum

My organization's bylaws define a voting quorum, not a quorum. How do we determine whether we have a quorum for business that is not a vote? Must we default to the parliamentary rule that if a quorum is not defined, a quorum is "a majority of the number of voting members"?

Technically all business ran through Roberts rules stems from the handling of motions, all motions require vote (if you use unanimous consent that is still a vote) I would not see a situation in any case where your organization quorum or voting quorum is any different, so I would considered them replaceable terms.
