PO Item Status

Updated August 5, 2026 5 min read

The Purchase Order Item Status module provides a consolidated, line-level view of all Purchase Order items across the organisation. Rather than storing its own records, it presents a reporting view that derives information from Purchase Orders and Goods Receipts, enabling procurement teams to monitor delivery progress, outstanding quantities, and receipt status without opening individual Purchase Orders.

Each Purchase Order line appears as a separate record, allowing users to filter, track, and drill down into procurement activities across suppliers, products, and purchase orders from a single screen.

Purpose

The Purchase Order Item Status module enables your organisation to:

  • Monitor Purchase Order line items from a single dashboard.
  • Track received and pending quantities for each Purchase Order line.
  • View outstanding deliveries across suppliers and products.
  • Identify partially received and fully received Purchase Order items.
  • Filter procurement data by supplier, product, Purchase Order, and status.
  • Navigate directly to the related Purchase Order or Product.
  • Support supplier follow-ups and delivery tracking.
  • Improve procurement visibility without editing Purchase Orders.

     Purchase Order Item Status (Reporting View)

The Purchase Order Item Status view combines information from Purchase Order Header, Purchase Order Line, Product Master, Supplier Master, Purchase Order Line Configuration, and Goods Receipt records to present real-time procurement status.

Status Lifecycle

The status displayed for each Purchase Order line is automatically derived from receipt quantities.

StatusDescription
PendingNo quantity has been received.
Partial ReceivedSome quantity has been received, but the ordered quantity has not yet been completed.
Fully ReceivedThe complete ordered quantity has been received.

Status values are calculated automatically and cannot be edited manually.

The Purchase Order Item Status process generally follows these steps:

  1. Purchase Order line items are created within the Purchase Order module.
  2. Each Purchase Order line automatically appears in Purchase Order Item Status.
  3. Users navigate to the Purchase Order Item Status screen.
  4. Users apply filters such as Supplier, Product, Purchase Order, or Status.
  5. Goods Receipts update the received quantity automatically.
  6. Remaining quantity and status are recalculated in real time.
  7. Users can click a Purchase Order or Product to view detailed information.
  8. Reset clears all filters and restores the complete list.
