Although you can ship partial quantities, you cannot split internal order lines into multiple shipment schedules with different delivery dates. If you backorder an internal sales order, you can use the Schedule Orders window to update the schedule date. You cannot change the warehouse on picking lines or the subinventories on the picking line details.

Order Entry / Shipping automatically prints the requestor and the internal requisition number on the Pick Slip and Pack Slip that prints for each shipment. Receiving personnel can use this information to quickly identify the source of the request and record receipts for inter-organization transfers.

When you ship confirm, Order Entry / Shipping updates the Inventory Interface. Inventory automatically updates on-hand quantities to reflect the internally ordered items that you shipped. If you are shipping using intransit inventory, the destination organization gets complete visibility of the incoming intransit supply. Internal requisition supply is reduced by the quantity of the shipment.

You can also enter the expected arrival date at ship confirmation to provide a more accurate supply picture to MRP and inventory planning.

Suggestion: When you perform partial shipments, resolve any problems with the Inventory Interface as quickly as possible to prevent an inconsistent state of supply and demand.
