THE DIRECT ANSWER

Preserve the supplier order while recording each planned and actual shipment as a distinct operational event. Confirm the quantity, document references and ownership of any remainder before treating the purchase as complete. The test should show how a split arrival affects receiving, customer promises and finance without recreating the full supplier order for every shipment.

Understand the decision

A supplier dispatches one purchase in two containers, and one arrives with fewer cartons than expected. The purchasing team sees the original order while the warehouse sees only the current arrival. The review should make the outstanding quantity and supporting shipment evidence available to both teams.

Work through the requirements

  2. Record each arrival’s actual quantity
  3. Review the remaining supplier obligation

Watch for this failure

A transport milestone is not a warehouse receipt or supplier settlement. Keep the events distinguishable so arrival messages cannot make missing goods appear on hand or cause an unfinished purchase commitment to disappear from the operating view.

Continue the evaluation

This example defines what to verify, rather than promising a particular Odoo feature. Keep a record of the demonstrated result, configuration, unresolved gaps and person who accepts it.
