Tracking ETA dates on outstanding purchase order lines
Overview
When tracking the ETA date of purchase order lines, you normally want to know the ETA of the balance of each purchase order that was not supplied on the first purchase receipt. This can be easily achieved using a filter. You can then export the result and send it to the supplier if you want confirmation on expected due dates.
