Partial Receipt against a PO with a quantity of 1

Posted on by 20

We have a scenario where we procure services (e.g. Software delivery) and this is then invoiced based on % completion (25%, 50%, 100%) or based on time (invoice for what's been done on a monthly basis, where the amount at that point in time is not predictable in advance)

So we'd raise a PO for a delivery of a service (e,g. 1 line, 'software component', cost 23,600k, quantity 1) and then when we receive an invoice need to call off a monetary amount.  The delivery is a non-stock item (real world terms) if that makes any difference to how we might do config to achieve this.

Given the Purch Reqs are being raised by business users without detailed understanding of the Finance's system's quirks, is there any way to call off a monetary amount against a PO as opposed to against quantity received? 

We're aware we could have a work around of always having quantity = 100 and calling off against this, but this makes for a more complicated Purch Req process for business users who then need to set their unit price as divided by 100 and a quantity of 100 just to meet a finance system quirk (or to raise POs with multiple lines to line up with anticipated invoice tranches, which aren't always set in stone).

Thanks for any guidance on this.

    You can set up the UOM for decimals under Org Admin/Setup/Units - after doing so you should be able to receive e.g. 0.5 in PO receipt #1 and 0.5 in PO receipt #2.

    I think you can consider Billur suggestion with some my addition of this point.

    You book invoice for 20000 with 20000 qty, when you receive, you receive the qty say 5000 that means your invoice is also 5000.

    There might be, lets wait for other responses but I usually setup this way.

    Thanks Billur.  So to your knowledge there is no formal accommodation for this scenario, only a work around to deal with it?

    You can partially invoice.

    You can partially invoice in each invoice.

    When you have nothing to invoice and then you can change the remaining qty.

    Thank you.

    What do we do if we do that (say Price = 1, Quantity = 23,600) and then get an invoice for £10,300.29?

    Hi,

    I can offer a workaround.

    You may set price to 1 and amount of the contract to the quantity.
