1. go to Parameter values "All>Setup>General parameters" .

2. under VEN - Sales on folder level or Company level Select SAL in Details.

3. Change INIALLORD and RSTALLORD to 'No'

Hope this Resolves your Issue.

I still want to create shortages, and the ability to auto allocate, but I do not want it to auto allocate when I press the save button. 

As well, I just checked this on our current system, and sage is already set to those settings and it is still generates shortages

Can you please share the screenshot of the screen for clear understanding, where exactly you are pressing the save button

you can check for is there any company/site/legislation level parameter value are setup.

I am pressing the save button on the sales order screen. (GESSOH) On the sales order screen, when we have an order and it is partially allocated, we would create a shortage. When we press the save button after allocating partially, and creating the shortage, the system is like hey they said this is short but I see products available to be allocated so I am just going to allocate the remaining products to this order even though the user did not allocate the product himself. 

Where would I look for that?
