Partial Delivery Per Item Setting Not Effective

Hi,

Any help greatly appreciated.

We have a business requirement whereby sales orders may be partially shipped but the sales order lines themselves MUST be shipped complete.

Therefore we have set the customer master record accordingly ie Partial Delivery Per Item = C ( Only complete delivery allowed)

This setting is indeed copied into the sales order but the availability check seems to ignore it. Instead it proposes a delivery schedule ie 100 qty del tomorrow, balance in 2 weeks.

I would expect that the availability WOULD NOT split the qty like this instead propose the complete qty in 2 weeks.

I could probably get round this by making the message an error during delivery creation, but I would really like the sales order to behave as expected and make an intelligent 'promise'

Am I missing something somewhere?

Please help.

Regards

Guy
