Partial reservation
-------------------
After :ref:`completing the packaging setup <inventory/management/packaging-setup>`, packagings can
be reserved in full or partial quantities for outgoing shipments. Partial packaging flexibility
expedites order fulfillment by allowing the immediate shipment of available items, while awaiting
the rest.
To configure packaging reservation methods, go to :menuselection:`Inventory app --> Configuration
--> Product Categories`. Then, click :guilabel:`Create`, or select the desired product category.
On the product category's form, in the :guilabel:`Logistics` section, :guilabel:`Reserve Packagings`
can be set to :guilabel:`Reserve Only Full Packagings` or :guilabel:`Reserve Partial Packagings`.
.. important::
To see the :guilabel:`Reserve Packaging` field, the :guilabel:`Product Packaging` feature
**must** be enabled. To enable this feature, go to :menuselection:`Inventory app -->
Configuration --> Settings`, scroll to the :guilabel:`Products` section, tick the
:guilabel:`Product Packagings` checkbox, and click :guilabel:`Save`.

To better evaluate the options based on business needs, consider the following example:
- a product is sold in twelve units per packaging.
- an order demands two packagings.
- there are only twenty-two units in stock.
When :guilabel:`Reserve Only Full Packagings` is selected, only twelve units are reserved for the
order.
Conversely, when :guilabel:`Reserve Partial Packagings` is selected, twenty-two units are
reserved for the order.
