Part-shipping Orders

It is possible to part-ship orders. In the example below, we have a delivery order for which we're only shipping 4 out of an expected 8 Laptops

When we click the Mark as Processed button, we will see the following pop-up

As the text explains, if we want to do a Part Shipment, and ship the rest of the goods later, we can Create a Backorder for the remaining stock.

After clicking the Create Backorder button, the completed shipment (for the first 4 laptops) will be marked as processed

The Backorder has also been created. This can be seen by returning to the Sales Order, and observing that the Deliveries button now has an additional delivery:

The backorder will be in the Waiting state for the remaining quantity to be shipped
