When a delivery is made, you might not receive some items that you had ordered. When items are delivered, they are removed from the PO. Items that have yet to come in or are not coming in at all remain on the receipt and the PO, unless the PO is closed. If you receive the PO again, you only receive the items that were not previously included, not the entire contents of the order.
When a PO is closed, it is permanently closed. Do not close the PO if you are receiving a partial order and need to receive the rest of the order at a later date. Oracle Hospitality recommends leaving the PO open if your site ties each PO to the receipt. Missing or partially delivered products appear on a separate receipt or invoice.
