Supplier Invoice only partly charged against purchase order

I raise a purchase order for large quantity of concrete.  The supplier invoices for only what so far has been delivered.  When I find the PO and change it into a bill, the PO is no longer available for the balance of the order.

Is there anyway I can retain the PO with the balance so that I can keep a track of the total amount of the original order?

    Thank you for your post. The way AccountRight works is that you can only convert an order to 1 bill, unfortunately you cannot create a partial bills to retain the PO with the balance.

     

    A possible work around could be that you use the back order function, if you are using item lines you could convert the purchase order to a bill and then amend one of the lines to a back order. This will allow you to receive the last item line and change that line to a bill.

    Hi Melisa, I have tried out the backorder option and I think this will do what I need.

    Thanks for your advice.
