In a new app (for me) that I'm converting from DOS to 7.6, they have a separate "ShippedQty" field in the order detail. When the ShippedQty = OrderedQty then the order has been completely shipped, and you can easily find out what is left to be shipped. Haven't worked with the app much yet, but it seems to me like an easy idea to implement.
