R42118 question about splitting lines?

Hello forum, please advise with the following question I recently received, not really an expert with this R42118 UBE (as evidenced in the person's detailed explanation in the message below) so I was hoping for some direction from this forum:

There's a job called Backorder Release R42118 that performs 2 tasks from a canned perspective. It reviews item availability and finds orders that can be 'taken off backorder' when material is available. So far so good...

Our issue is that if a backorder can only be partially fulfilled, it creates a line split that will allow the original line to fully ship, and creates a ".1" line that stays on backorder...

In a normal world, this is great...

In our world, because we've modified a bunch of things and have another job that will actually do a split for us when we're good and ready for it to happen, we'd like this job to fulfill the backorder, either fully or partially, and not split the line.

Example.
Good:
Beginning: Line 5.0 UORG 150 SOQS 100 SOBK 50
Inventory gets replenished (add 50)
R42118 Backorder Release runs
End: Line 5.0 UORG 150 SOQS 150 SOBK 0

Bad:
Beginning: Line 5.0 UORG 150 SOQS 100 SOBK 50
Inventory gets partially replenished (add 20)
R42118 Backorder Release runs & splits
End: Line 5.0 UORG 120 SOQS 120 SOBK 0
Line 5.1 UORG 30 SOQS 0 SOBK 30

Preferred Result in this example:

End: Line 5.0 UORG 150 SOQS 120 SOBK 30


Can anyone advise how this could be done via modifications, if at all? I'm guessing a number of BSFNs are involved, please advise and much thanks in advance for your time.

By the way, we're on EnterpriseOne - E900 (tools 9.1.0.4) on MS/SQL server DB platform.
 
This was a similar case that might aid in your scenario.

SOLUTION: The client decided to change the Branch Plant Availability Definition (P41001) so that the Quantity Soft Committed to SO WO is subtracted from the On-Hand quantity to calculate Quantity Available.

Below are the steps to accomplish this:

1. Go into Branch Plant Constants (P41001), Find a Branch Plant and take the Row Exit to Availability
2. In the Subtract Column, check the checkbox for Quantity Soft Committed to SO WO and save the Branch Availability Definition.
3. Exit EnterpriseOne and Clear Cache.
4. Retest the issue following the same steps as found above.
5. The order line does not split when Release Backorder (R42118) is run.
