Release the order only after each line has a defined fulfilment route, quantity commitment and responsible owner. Separate available stock from supplier-dependent items and record the customer’s choice about partial delivery. The acceptance test should prove that a revised promise reaches purchasing, warehouse staff and invoicing without creating a second interpretation.
Understand the decision
A trade customer orders cases for two delivery dates while one product is awaiting replenishment. Sales wants to confirm the available portion immediately, but operations needs to preserve the outstanding commitment. Use this situation to discover where dates, pack conversions and approval decisions currently become informal messages.
Work through the requirements
- Agree the customer’s split-delivery instruction
- Assign replenishment ownership for the shortage
- Trace the confirmed promise into dispatch
| Record or decision | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Customer quotation | Preserves agreed quantities and prices |
| Availability decision | Explains the outstanding supply requirement |
| Delivery instruction | Carries the approved shipment split |

Watch for this failure
Do not let an available-to-promise figure substitute for an approved fulfilment decision. A quantity may be physically present but committed elsewhere, and a salesperson’s delivery date may depend on an unconfirmed supplier arrival.
Continue the evaluation
This example defines what to verify, rather than promising a particular Odoo feature. Keep a record of the demonstrated result, configuration, unresolved gaps and person who accepts it.
