Zoho Inventory - How to pay a supplier up front then receive multiple deliveries

How do we manage situations where we pay a supplier up front, then the receive the products in increments?

Example Workflow:
Create Purchase Order > Receive Bill for full amount > Receive Items 2 or more deliveries.

Currently, once a Bill is created against a Purchase Order it is not possible to record multiple Receives. The Receive must match the Bill. So we can record multiple Bills but in reality we have paid in full up front.

What if we receive more than was ordered at the discretion of the supplier? If I try to receive more than was ordered I see a message saying "Quantity recorded cannot be more than quantity ordered.".

Can anyone give some guidance on how to manage this?
