Purchase Orders - Update stock on delivery, not on billed and allow part deliveries
Currently, the stock is not updated until the bill is entered. Many times the deliveries can be part-deliveries or billed on multiple bills. It is impossible to part bill and update the stock for the delivered items
Also, we can get billed before any order is even processed by the supplier. To match the bill with the purchase order, it needs to be entered through the purchase order, which updates the stock before it has even arrived in store.
We need the ability to update the stock record in Xero at the time of delivery, not on billing date.
This also requires the ability to show backorders. Currently, the only workaround is to copy the purchase order to a new PO and remove the delivered items. This is inefficient.
There is currently no way to mark off part deliveries against the purchase order, other than the way I have used tracking categories, however the stock record does not get updated until the whole purchase order is billed

Last year when XERO acquired LOCATE, then i believed that this will be most important feature XERO will update at the earliest.
Having ability to dispatch/create multiple shipments/ deliveries against single Sales Order/Quote and Invoice only 1 time.
Similarly, having 1 PO and receiving the items in multiple GRNs, but still no improvement...In fact this functionality will take the XERO itself to next level in terms of clients reach... Hope they act soon on this

Part delivery would be awesome. We have so many that come in parts. Amending the PO twice is such a pain!

Yes - just use a traffic light system next to each line (item) green (arrived) and red awaiting receipt

Also, there is no way to allocate the invoice to the Stock account if billed before the purchase order is complete

A seperate screen for Goods received would be great.
