Consuming Requirements
Requirement quantities are considered open until the shipper is confirmed in Pre-Shipper/Shipper Confirm (7.9.5). At this point, pegged quantities are transferred to shipped quantities.
During confirmation, the requirement quantity is used to increase the cumulative shipped quantity and decrease the net requirement for the order line item. Inventory is also decreased by this quantity. When Post Invoice is Yes, the invoice is automatically posted.
The confirm process also transfers pegged quantities to shipped quantities. The shipped quantities are incremented by the ship line quantity and pegged quantities are decremented by the ship line quantity.
