inventory based on bills and not physical stock

inventory based on bills and not physical stock

Hello,

I have noticed a very annoying issue with zoho books/inventory. I use composite items. If I have an sub assembly item on back order, I am unable to make up the composite item, even when I have received the goods and it is in my stock. I have to convert the PO into a BILL in order for the item to show as 'Accounting Stock'. The problem is that the supplier Invoice is not shipped with the goods, but can follow even a week later. So I have to make the bill have a 'dummy name and number' until the real bill arrives. 

This is not a useable feature as it relies on memory in order to change the dummy name and number.

Another quirk I guess is that I receive multiple purchase orders on one bill from my supplier. So I have to 'split them out' into the individual bills on zoho, but can only use one bill number. So I end up having multiple versions of a bill. For example 344-01, 344-02.. etc.

Zoho, can you address the first question as a matter of urgency, as it is very frustrating and spoils and otherwise good product.

Regards
