What does the "Available Quantity" commit option indicate for a sales order line item?

The "Available Quantity" commit option for a sales order line item indicates that only the items that are currently in stock and available for shipment will be included in the order fulfillment. This means that if there is insufficient stock to meet the complete order quantity, the system will fulfill the order using the available items and automatically create backorders for the items that cannot be shipped at that time. This approach allows companies to manage their inventory effectively by ensuring that customers receive what they can while also capturing any remaining demand for items that are temporarily out of stock. It streamlines the order process by allowing partial fulfillment and ensuring that customers are informed about any backlog. This method enhances customer service as it allows for timely shipment of available items while keeping track of outstanding items that need to be fulfilled later.
