b.    Under Order Management tab > Sales Orders.

c.     Default commit option on sales order = set to either:

• Available Qty - Items for this line item are committed as available. Available items are shipped, and items that are not available are placed on backorder.

• Complete Qty - This line item only ships when all items are committed.
