Partial deliveries are common in purchasing workflows. Good news — Orderry now supports partial receiving for purchase orders.
Until now, you could create only one posting per purchase order that included all items from the document. But in real operations, suppliers often deliver products in batches: some items arrive today, others later, and some may need replacement or an additional shipment.
With the new update, you can now create multiple postings from the same purchase order and receive products gradually as they arrive.
This means you can:
receive available products immediately;
keep undelivered items pending in the same purchase order;
accurately track what has already been received and what is still expected;
maintain cleaner purchasing history and stock records;
avoid creating duplicate purchase orders for the same supplier request.
How It Works
To support this new workflow, we’ve reorganized the purchase order page into three tabs:
General — contains supplier details, invoice number, expected delivery date, and destination warehouse.
Products — contains the list of ordered products.
Postings and payments — contains all postings and payments related to the purchase order.
On the Products tab, you can now see ordered and posted quantities for each product. This makes it easy to understand what has already been received into inventory and what is still expected.
When part of the shipment arrives, move the purchase order to the new Partially posted status, go to the Postings and payments tab, and click + Posting.
By default, the posting document includes all products from the purchase order. You can remove items from the list or adjust quantities based on what was actually delivered.
The remaining quantities stay available for future receiving. When the next shipment arrives, create another posting from the same purchase order until all products are received. Once all products from the list are posted, the purchase order status will automatically change to Posted.
Each posting is saved separately, giving you a clear delivery history.
Note: Currently, if you create a supplier payment from the posting document, it will not appear in the Payments table of the purchase order. Until this is improved, we recommend creating payments directly from the purchase order.
Better Control Over Purchasing
This update gives you more flexibility in daily purchasing operations. You can now reflect supplier deliveries more accurately, update inventory faster, and reduce manual work.
What’s Next?
We’re already working on more improvements for purchase orders.
Soon, the purchase orders table will include badges similar to orders, inquiries, and invoices. You’ll be able to filter new, my, overdue, and partially posted purchase orders in one click.
Another upcoming improvement is the ability to create a purchase order directly from a client order (ticket/job).
