Partial Deliveries
In some cases, only part of an order will be accepted by the customer.
Common reasons for a partial delivery include:
- Items were damaged during delivery
- The sell-by date was too short
- The wrong product was supplied
- Items were missing
- The customer no longer wanted some of the items
The delivery receipt allows these situations to be recorded so that the appropriate follow-up action can be taken.
Recording a Partial Delivery
To record a partial delivery:
- Open the Delivery Receipt.
- Enable the Partial Delivery toggle.
- Update the quantity of each line item to reflect the quantity that was actually accepted by the customer.

- Add any additional information to the Notes field if required.
- Complete the delivery receipt.
The available next actions are:
- Undecided
- Redeliver All Rejected Items
- Redeliver Some Items
- Cancel All Rejected Items
The Notes field can be used to record any additional information or requests from the customer.
Viewing Partial Deliveries
