Those checkboxes are misleading, when you click the Drop Ship/Special Order, the PO does not respect the line quantity and is created for the quantity needed across the board for that Customer in that location.

Is there a way to create a Drop Ship or Special Order PO only for the line quantity and not the full demand for that Item?

The result is the same with the Include Committed Quantities checkbox checked or unchecked, the Special Order PO is created for 1000 units for one line even if that line quantity in the SO is only 44 units.

@battk BTW that is not properly documented anywhere, as far as I know, the closest you can get is documented here: https://suiteanswers.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/64775/loc/en_US And even that is missing some essential not documented defaultvalue.

Technically, I can re-load the Special Order PO and update the lines to the quantity I need and with this preference/checkbox checked: KEEPSPECIALORDERQUANTITIESINSYNC The Sales Order would be updated to the previous quantity, which would be very inefficient having to re-load the record you just created and as a result another record(the SO) will be also updated again.

NVM, found the problem, we had another script tampering with the Min Req Quantity and that was triggering this behavior for Special Orders.
