If the goods ordered by the customer are only partly available on the requested date, the product availability check can create different options for confirming the requirement:
One-time delivery on the requested delivery date
The product availability check determines how much required quantity can be delivered on the requested material availability date. All possible deliveries with a later delivery date are ignored.
Complete delivery
The product availability check determines the earliest date on which the entire requirement can be delivered in one single delivery.
Delivery proposal
The product availability check determines multiple partial deliveries until the requested quantity is reached.
