For SO partial delivery we have following scenarios:
Partial delivery allowed

- D No limit to subsequent deliveries
Indicator – Partial delivery allowed: We can create multiple partial deliveries for SO line item.
Indicator – A (Create a delivery with qty greater than zero): If due to some reasons, we can delivery only partial quantity, using this indicator we can’t create other delivery for remaining quantity. Order is marked as complete.
Indicator – B (Create only one delivery (also with quantity = 0)): Same as indicator A, the difference is we can create a delivery with zero qty also.
Indicator – C (Only complete delivery allowed): System gives a warning message, if we try to create line item partial delivery.
Indicator – D (No limit to subsequent deliveries): We can create as many as deliveries as we want. We can even do over delivery. Order status is not completed until we assign it manually.
