Step 9: Check Line status of the Sales order
*** Actual Result ***
We see that the line status of the Sales is “Invoiced ” which is correct as we had made a complete consumption (full 10 quantity)
That’s because for Item requirements, Item transactions are consumed when the packing slip is updated.

Although a sales order is processed when the corresponding customer invoice is updated, item requirements are processed when the corresponding packing slip is updated.

NOTE: Sales order line status is Invoiced as it was invoiced as part of the Item requirement (which is Invoiced after posting the Packing slip)
