### **New Status “Partially Received” on Purchase Orders**
### **Operational Example**
You ordered 8 kitchen items. 5 arrived and are marked “Received,” 3 are still pending.
→ The PO will now show “Partially Received.”
→ The team knows at a glance which POs need follow-up.
### **What's New?**
* A new PO status: **Partially Received**.
* The system will show “Partially Received” when some line items in the PO are received, but at least one item is still pending.
* This status makes it easy to track which orders are still missing items—especially helpful for stores and finance teams.
* You’ll see this status in the PO list and inside each PO. New filters allow you to view **Pending** and **Partially Received** orders directly.
### **PO Statuses Now Available:**
* ### **Pending:** All items pending, or some pending and some closed.
* **Received:** All items received.
* **Closed:** All items cancelled or not needed anymore.
* **Partially Received:** Some items received, and at least one item is still pending (others may be closed/cancelled).
* **Partially Received + Closed:** Some items received, others closed.
## ***Update: 7th of December, 2025***
### **Purchase Order: Remaining Quantity Column**
**How it Works:**
* **New Column:** “Remaining Qty” appears next to “Qty” (ordered) and “Received Qty”.
* **Calculation:**
* Remaining Qty = Qty – Received Qty
* If Received Qty > Qty (allowed for market list items), Remaining Qty = 0 (never negative)
