A purchase order can be received and invoiced several times. A partial receipt occurs when a purchase is received in more than one delivery. For example, from an order for 100 units, you receive 20 units immediately and 80 later.

- In the Search box, enter Purchase Orders, and then select the related link.

- On the Actions tab, in the Posting group, choose Post. 
- Select Receive, and then choose the OK button. - The quantity that you entered in the Qty. to Receive field is posted as received. Notice that the Qty. to Receive and Quantity Received fields are updated accordingly.
