Start Delivery

This functionality is new as of version 4.1.

After the Purchase Order has been ‘Sent’, the next step in the Purchase Order Process is to ‘Receive’ the Inventory Delivery.

In order to have access to Start a Delivery:

One of the following must apply:

  • For a single Purchase Order, multiple Deliveries might be received.

  • ‘Deliveries’ represent the different shipments, and can be performed at any time.

  • After adding a Delivery, it will remain ‘Incomplete’ until all of the quantities are 'Received', or ‘Cancelled’.

  • When all of the Purchase Order Items have been partially or completely ‘Received’, and/or partially ‘Cancelled’, the Purchase Order Status is updated to ‘Complete’.

  • If all of the Purchase Order Items are Cancelled, the Purchase Order Status is updated to ‘Cancelled’.
