Dispatch Suggestion - Split deliverable order lines based on fallback parameter
When the entire order cannot be fulfilled, based on fallback value, the following is returned in dispatch suggestion:
- If Fallback is true, then we suggest the dispatchingWarehouse.storeNumber

A new field in the dispatch suggestion response called IsFallback is added. If this is set true, then we know it's because of fallback mechanism for non-deliverable items.

If excludeFromStockCalc = FALSE, dispatchingWarehouse.storeNumber will NOT be included in the stock stock availability calculation
This parameter is by FALSE by default.
