Ken,

I have a client who  deletes line items form an order prior to generating
the invoice.  They do not backorder so items not shipped are deleted.

In this case I do have a line # field which allows the details to be
displayed in the sequence that they are entered.  This allows for checking
the order against the paper order received.  I have build the browse routine
to allow them to list details by line #, SKU or description.  (this is a
case where I wish an index value could be a variable)..

Also, a line item may be deleted if one is "robbing from Peter to pay Paul".
Rather ship item 123 to Paul and not Peter.
