A purchase order can be received and invoiced several times. A partial receipt occurs when a purchase is received in more than one delivery. For example, from an order for 100 units, you receive 20 units immediately and 80 later.
To post a partial receipt
In the Search box, enter Purchase Orders, and then select the related link.
On the Home tab, in the New group, choose New.

Select a purchase order line with more than 1 unit in the Quantity field.
In the Qty. to Receive field, enter the quantity that you have received.
On the Actions tab, in the Posting group, choose Post.
Select Receive, and then choose the OK button.
The quantity that you entered in the Qty. to Receive field is posted as received. Notice that the Qty. to Receive and Quantity Received fields are updated accordingly.
Repeat these steps every time you receive part of your order, until you have received the full quantity of the order.
