what is the purpose of allocate partial flag at inventory company

can anyone advice, what is the purpose of the "Allocate Partial" flag at inventory company setup? Currently we have requisition it gets partial allocate even the allocate partial is not enabled. We dont want to allocate unless if there is full qty available from the location.

This is expected. I am assuming you are using on line allocations and it will allocate what it can

Allocate PartialsSelect this check box to allocate partial quantities of the original item. This is used by Requisitioning. Select this check box if partial SOH quantities will be allocated before switching to a replacement item to satisfy additional demand

Item 1234 has 10 each stock on hand and it has a replacement item 4567 defined on it and there are 50 each of the replacement item. If the Allocate paritals is selected and a requisition is created for 15 each, then 2 requisition lines will be created. Line 1 for item 1234 for 10 each and line 2 for item 4567 for 5 each

If the allocate partials is not selected then only 1 line for item 4567 will be created for 15 each. If a requisition was created for 8 of item 1234 then the requisition line would be created for item 1234 for 8 each

It allows the original item to use up the stock on hand.

Thank you Jean for the explanation? In my case the flag is not selected also no replacement item. What system does is, single requisition line which allocate the partial available quantity. Is this expected or bug on the code?
