The delivery appears as a dated receipt under Items Received. Any outstanding quantity stays under Items Pending. Here, 24 hoodies are received and 24 are still pending. The purchase order status stays Pending until all items are received. To track partial deliveries in your order list, you can update the purchase order status manually.

For inventory-tracked products, receiving also updates stock at the purchase order's warehouse. Custom items, such as the hoodies in this example, carry a grey Custom tag and do not represent a saved inventory product. Use Files to upload vendor packing slips or delivery photos, and Internal Comments to leave notes for your team.

Correct a receipt date

  1. Under Items Received, click the three-dot More actions button beside the receipt date.

  4. Click Save.

    Save the receipt date

The receipt now appears under the corrected date. Editing the date does not change its quantities. To collapse or expand a receipt's items, click Collapse beside its date header.

Receive the remaining items

When another delivery arrives, repeat Record a delivery for the quantities still pending. Each delivery gets its own dated receipt.

When all items have been received, the purchase order changes to Completed and no items remain pending. This example has two receipts of 24 hoodies each.

Undo a receipt or correct quantities

To correct a quantity, void the incorrect receipt and record the delivery again. Voiding removes every item in that receipt; other receipts on the purchase order stay in place.

  1. Click the three-dot More actions button beside the receipt you want to undo.

    The More actions button appears on the dated receipt header, not on the individual item row.

  2. Choose Void.

  3. Click Void in the confirmation dialog.

    Confirm Void Receipt

    Voiding removes only the selected delivery receipt. It returns those items to Items Pending without affecting other receipts.

The receipt is removed and its quantities return to Items Pending. A completed purchase order returns to Pending when items are outstanding again.

If the delivery needs to be recorded with different quantities, follow Record a delivery with the corrected amounts.
