Order Base Line - Ready Quantity and Order Base Line Packing

This feature allows you to easily enter a Ready Quantity - which represents the quantity provided to you as being ready to ship.  Once the Ready Quantity is entered, you can easily copy the provided Ready Quantity value to Ship Quantity Value on your Order Base Line as part of the Order Base Line Packing action.

In the example below the Ready Quantity will be entered for a set of Order Base Lines and the newly provided logic and functionality will be demonstrated. 

To start the process, you will provide a Ready Quantity value for your Order Base Line.  You can add the value by editing your Order Base Line using the Manager as shown below.
