Order Base Line Packing - Allow Zero for Ship Quantity

This feature allows you to enter a value of zero for the Ship Quantity in the Order Base Line Packing Detail screen.  You will find this feature extremely useful in situations where you are managing a large number Line Items as part of your release process and you run into situations where you have accidentally selected a Line Item that should not be included in your Order Base Line Packing Details Line Items grid.  Previously, entering a Ship Quantity value of zero (or null) would result in an error and was not allowed.

In the example below, the Line Item CASEOFWATER was accidentally included as one of the Line Items.  To not include the Line Item CASEOFWATER in the releasing process, the Ship Quantity is set to zero.

After selecting Save in the screen above the Order Base Line screen shows that the CASEOFWATER has not changed/been processed  while the other Line Items have all been decremented by the quantities entered for Ship Quantity.

Selecting Finished in the screen above, will generate the Order Release and the Ship Unit with the Line Items and Ship Quantities entered, the CASEOFWATER Line Item will be ignored.
