Receiving partially completed orders
If you did not receive the full quantity that you ordered:

1. Change the Qty Supp field to the amount you received.
   The following warning is displayed.
   
2. Click .
   The remaining items on the order line are put on back order. A separate order line is created, and the Origin field is set to backorder.
   Beside the Origin field, two messages show the originating line and the root originating line for the back order:
   • The originating line is the purchase order line that the back order was generated from.
   • The root originating line is the first order line in the chain. In the example below, the originating line and the root originating line are the same as the back order originated from order line number 1.
   
3. If you receive items that are on back order but again do not receive the full amount, another back order is generated as shown in the example below.
   
   In this case, the originating order line is 3, because the back order was generated from order line 3. However, the root originating line is still 1. This is because the back order that generated this order line is generated originally from order line 1. This enables you to follow a chain of back orders and partially filled orders.
