A partial delivery is when a supplier delivers and bills only part of a purchase order, so the PO stays open with a balance.
The Sage 300 CRE way
Where to find it: Accounts Payable > Tasks > Enter Invoices
- Enter an invoice against the commitment for the part delivered so far.
- Leave the commitment open and enter the next invoice when the rest arrives.
Limits in Sage 300 CRE
- Partial billing is several invoices against one commitment. Base Accounts Payable checks invoices against the commitment total, not against goods received.
Words Sage 300 CRE uses
- Commitment. A purchase order or subcontract that invoices are applied to.

What Pulsify does not do here
- Pulsify matches to within 1 cent and has no tolerance setting.
- A lower quantity than the commitment line is not flagged, because partial delivery is normal.
Common mistakes
- Expecting invoices to be matched to goods received in base Accounts Payable.
- Invoicing the full commitment on the first invoice when only part has arrived.
