Title: Receiving partial purchase orders Last modified: February 6, 2018 --- # Receiving partial purchase orders * Resolved [nbrowndeltasys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nbrowndeltasys/) * (@nbrowndeltasys) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/receiving-partial-purchase-orders/) * Hello, We have a situation where we only receive part of the incoming stock from a purchase order. * For example, we have PO-123 with 12 product x’s and 10 product y’s. Today, for PO-123, we received 6 product x’s and 5 product y’s from the supplier. The rest of the product for PO-123 will arrive in 1 week. * Is there a way for me to only receive partial orders using the current ATUM plugin( with PO)? If there isn’t built in functionality, do you suggest a way to handle this situation using the ATUM plugin (with PO)? * Thank you for your attention Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * Plugin Author [Stock Management Labs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stockmanagementlabs/) * (@stockmanagementlabs) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/receiving-partial-purchase-orders/#post-9942777) * hi nbrowndeltasys, * Thank you very much for your post. * In this version of ATUM you only select the products you have received and press the add to stock button. The change will be logged in the notes section of the purchase order. When you receive the remaining items, select those and add them to stock the same way. Then you can mark the PO as completed. * Hope this helps. * Best Regads, * Pavel * Thread Starter [nbrowndeltasys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nbrowndeltasys/) * (@nbrowndeltasys) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/receiving-partial-purchase-orders/#post-9942796) * Thank you for the quick reply. The issue we’re having is actually with only receiving some instead of all of any product. This may be a better example. For example, we have PO-123 with 1 product with a quantity of 12. Today, for PO-123, we received 6 of this product but not all 12. The rest of the product for PO- 123 will arrive in 1 week. We’re not seeing a way to only receive 6 of 12 for a single product in a PO. * Plugin Author [Stock Management Labs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stockmanagementlabs/) * (@stockmanagementlabs) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/receiving-partial-purchase-orders/#post-9942836) * Hi the way of doing that is very similar, but needs couple of more steps in case you need to keep the PO in the same amount at the end. * 1. Press the edit button and change the amount you have received from the amount you have ordered. Then select the product and press add to stock button. Mark the PO as completed. * 2. The best way is to open another PO with the missing items. * 3. When you received the next load you will only work with this one. * You can use the note section to make any references to the newly created PO. * This is the best practice right now I believe. * Will this work? * Pavel * Thread Starter [nbrowndeltasys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nbrowndeltasys/) * (@nbrowndeltasys) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/receiving-partial-purchase-orders/#post-9944223) * Unfortunately the client has said this is a blocking issue.
