Scenario 2: Single Order Consolidation Mode
In the Single Order Consolidation mode, the system consolidates all of the order lines on a single order to one shipment.
In this scenario, we have a single order with five order lines. Because of single order consolidation, the system assigns the same shipment number to each order line.
The original shipment number (1001) consists of all the order lines on the sales order. The following table illustrates the details of the original shipment number before running the Release from Fulfillment report:
Order Line |
Item |
Quantity |
Shipment Number |
|---|---|---|---|

D |

E |

When you run the Release from Fulfillment report, the system:
Releases all quantity for order lines 1 and 2
Partially releases quantity for order lines 3 and 4
Does not release any quantity for order line 5
The following table illustrate the results of fulfillment processing in the Single Order Consolidation mode:

The released quantities for each order line remain on the original shipment number (1001). The system assigns a new shipment number (1002) to all unreleased order lines.
