Data Partitioning in AX 2012

While I was importing test data on Server I was stopped by the word "Data Partition", so did little bing on term and found a very informative article on it.

Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 enables data isolation by using data partitions. For example, an organization has several subsidiaries. If the management of the organization does not want employees of one subsidiary to have access to the data for other subsidiaries, data partitions can provide the boundaries that are required for data isolation.

Solution for Error: The inventory quantity to match for packing slip xyz item 123 cannot be reserved.

Solution concluded from below two postings:

First check packingslip number from purchase order. Then goto AOT--> Data Dictionary-->Tables-->Purchparmsubline TABLE.

Search packingslip number in DocumentID field delete it.
