There's no such feature quite yet.
'Jobs' are technically like Purchase Orders. (not really 'jobs') But I
don't think there is a provision for partial receipt.
I recall reading a plan to facilitate 'quotes' by slightly altering the
wording of bills/invoices that are not yet posted. So essentially, you
could mimic this by just not posting the bill yet, then when the PO is
completed (as much as it will be) posting it as an invoice.
You might also employ an accrued account to handle items as you receive
them, then invoice against that when needed. (as opposed to the original
inventory or expense accounts) But there is no tracking mechanism for
this. You'd have to manage that on your own.
I know this is not ideal, and vendors can invoice several (even partial)
POs at once, but this is what is available at the moment.
While some business features have been added to GnuCash over the years,
the main focus of the program is in accounting, not in process
management or inventory control. Some people use other systems for that
part, and then export the resulting accounting transactions to GnuCash.
(similar with point of sale)

...what have some of you done to accomplish this needed function?
If I create a vendor bill without posting it, it's sort of like a purchase
order, but then receiving partial orders becomes a challenge, and it
creates a permanent bill that needs to be allocated at some point.
Any ideas?
