Enabling Inbound Shipment for Supply Allocation
The Inbound Shipment for Supply Allocation feature lets you create multiple inbound shipments. Each shipment can have a delivery date and receiving location for each purchase order line. Supply allocation can allocate both the inbound shipments and purchase orders to ensure that the allocated quantities are reconciled across these sources of supply. This new source of information enables you to provide more accurate availability information about sales orders.

-
Go to Setup > Company > Enable Features.
