Allow under receiving at qty level - Currently it shorts the entire container

Store engagement currently allows over receiving once you receive a container. I can over receive any quantity. But there is no provision to under receive. If I do record damage on a container, it records the entire container as damaged.

If a case was supposed to contain 10, I can open it to find only 9 in it. It is entirely possible and happens all the time. (In fact, if the case is sized for 10 items, it is impossible to fit in 11, which we actually allow in the system right now).

What is your industry? Retail
How will this idea be used?

When we receive shipments, it is very common that the container contains quantity that is less than the expected qty. So we need to able to receive the exact qty that we actually receive after opening the container.
