Backorder and partial delivery

Keep every split order open until it's fully delivered.

Goods rarely arrive all at once. Ennovity tracks each delivery against the purchase order, accumulates received quantities, and watches the outstanding balance so nothing is over-billed or quietly lost.

Partial deliveries

Split shipments, one running total.

When goods arrive in several shipments against one purchase order, Ennovity accumulates the received quantity across every delivery and matches the invoice against the running total, not a single goods receipt.

No spreadsheets, no manual tallying. Each new receipt updates the order automatically as it lands on the dock.

Backorders

Unshipped lines stay visible, never forgotten.

When some ordered items haven't shipped yet, Ennovity keeps the purchase order open and tracks the outstanding balance per line, so the invoice is judged against what is actually owed, not the full order.

A backordered line doesn't block the goods that did arrive, and it doesn't disappear either.

Returns and credits

Returns adjust what you actually owe.

Goods sent back reduce the balance owed on the order. Ennovity reconciles returns and credit notes against the open PO, so a supplier is never paid for stock that went back to them.

The owed figure always reflects reality: received, minus returned, within the order.

Over-billing protection

Never pay twice for the same goods.

A large order billed in stages is easy to over-pay. Ennovity tracks the cumulative quantity billed against each PO and holds any invoice that would push the total past what was actually received.

Many invoices against one order are reconciled together, so staged billing never quietly exceeds delivery.
