# Awaiting Delivery

> What's still coming — every purchase order placed but not yet fully received.

Not "what did we buy" — what is still owed to you. Awaiting Delivery lists every purchase order that
has been sent and is not yet fully received.

## What's on the list

Any [purchase order](/commercial/purchase-orders) in **Sent**, **Confirmed** or **Partially
Received** appears here. A PO drops off the moment it reaches **Received** — this list is exclusively
the open tail of the buying process.

## Columns

| Column                | Notes                                                            |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **PO number**         | Click to open the purchase order                                 |
| **Vendor**            | Who it is coming from                                            |
| **Status**            | Sent, Confirmed, or Partially Received                           |
| **Expected date**     | When the vendor promised delivery                                |
| **Overdue**           | Flagged once the expected date has passed with stock still short |
| **Received**          | Fraction of ordered quantity received so far                     |
| **Outstanding value** | What is still owed against this order                            |

<Note>
  Overdue is judged against the vendor's promised date, not a guess. A PO with no expected date
  cannot be flagged overdue — set one at ordering time if this list is meant to catch a late
  delivery.
</Note>

## Recording a delivery

This list does not record receipt itself — it is where you see what needs it. Open the purchase
order and use its **Receipts** tab to record what actually arrived, in full or in part. See
[Purchase orders](/commercial/purchase-orders) for how that tab works.

A partial delivery keeps the PO on this list, now showing the reduced outstanding quantity; a full
delivery removes it.

## Why a separate list

A purchase order screen answers "what did we commit to". This one answers "what is late, and what is
still owed" — the question a stores team asks every morning, across every vendor, without opening
each order in turn.
