Specifies the quantity that will be shipped when the warehouse shipment is posted.

The default value of this field is zero. When a quantity is registered as picked for the warehouse shipment line, then the Qty. to Ship field is automatically updated with the picked quantity. The value is copied from the Qty. Handled field on the warehouse pick line.

Note
If you want to edit this field, for example to ship partially, then you can only decrease the quantity. This is because you cannot ship more than you have picked, but you can ship fewer than you have picked.

If the warehouse shipment line is for an assemble-to-order quantity, however, then you can both decrease and increase the value in the Qty. to Ship field.

Assemble to Order

If the item on the warehouse shipment line is being assembled to a sales order, indicated by the Assemble to Order field, then the value in the Qty. to Ship field is copied to Quantity to Assemble field on the assembly order that is linked to the sales order line that is being shipped. In that case, the posting of assembly output occurs when the related warehouse shipment is posted.
