We create bills at the time we create the PO because we need the work in progress goods to be included in our inventory reports and inventory valuation reports, which requires a bill. Our suppliers also require a 30% down payment at the time the PO is placed, with the balance 70% due at the time the shipment leaves their factory.

When we need to adjust the PO quantity we are forced to delete the payment made, delete the bill, adjust the PO, recreate the bill, recreate the payment made, and re-apply the payment. It’s a huge hassle.

We have 2 goals we’re trying to accomplish:

1. Find an easier way to make an adjustment to our PO quantities when our supplier sends us the final quantity to be shipped, which is almost always slightly different than what the original PO states.
2. Find a way to partially receive a PO when the supplier is only able to send a partial shipment. We want to mark the quantities that we received and leave the remaining quantities open for a second receive to be made later
