Tracking Partial Receipts/Partial Sales Order

[David R. <dr...@su...>]

Has anyone come up with a method to track partial sales orders and or partial 
receipts - Here's a quick example of what I mean...

We order 1200 of some part... maybe even a blanket order to complicate things 
a little further (that is say 100 per month for 12 months...)

How do we know without manual tracking when the order has been filled.... I 
do not see a space on the invoice to track "Order Qty", "This Shipment Qty", 
"Total Shipped Qty"

I have the same case for inventory receipts. Frequently we have 20-25 items 
on a purchase order. When they come in, the orders are usually not complete - 
maybe some line items are missing completely, or shipped in less than order 
qty. How can I track if a PO is complete?? Right now I have clipboards stuck 
to the wall and its a totally manual process and getting out of hand quickly!

Lastly, Isn't it more normal NOT to re-order line items on a PO or SALES 
ORDER i.e. remove the ORDER BY clause? generally speaking should a PO 
contract (being a legal document) not be able to change from its original 
printing?

Thanks,
