A transfer order is raised to replenish products from the Warehouse to the store. If enough inventory is not available, Warehouse partially fulfills the TO. The remaining items in the TO end up in back orders and remain locked to the TO. When more quantity comes into the WH, the backorders in older TOs get committed first, and thus, these newly received quantities are not available for use in newer TOs, resulting in a lot of reallocations.

Currently to avoid this, if a TO is partially fulfilled, either we have to manually edit the partially fulfilled TO and mark individual items as CLOSED for items that have 0 qty fulfilled. For items that have at least 1 qty fulfilled, NS allows to CLOSE that item line only after the IF is received (only when IR is creating). This is a very time-consuming process.
