    2. If part of the line has already been shipped, you can't delete the line from the sale order. In that chase change the quantity ordered to be equal to the quantity you have already shipped. For example change the Qty Ordered to the required value so that the Qty Back Ordered changes to 0 e.g., in this example change the Qty Ordered to 1
