Each Purchase Order (PO) can have multiple line items. So we can allow - full delivery per PO - full delivery per line item in the PO - part delivery per line item in the PO. The last case is the most complicated, but nevertheless common practice. If there is an open quantity (PO quantity not yet received or scheduled for shipment) , why not include it in another shipment? > Also with this way, you > can not see what you are expecting as delivery because every lines will be > linked to a shipment. ? In the PO I should see what was received, what is open what is actually included in a shipment. In the shipment I see a total quantity of goods to arrive. The ware house is not that much interested to which PO ist belongs, but they need to know waht will arrive. So I dont see an issue in this. > More over, creating the shipment is a good way to verify the quantities > delivered (best practice). You would control this in the PO, as you may have different shipments belonging to one PO. Best, Axel -- [email protected] mailing list
