Partial Shipments and Receipts with LLB Solutions Localizations: Total Flexibility in Business Central

In an increasingly dynamic business environment, flexibility in managing orders and receipts is key to optimizing time, resources, and costs. The Partial Shipments and Receipts feature in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, enhanced by LLB Solutions’ Localizations, enables companies to handle split deliveries or receipts without losing fiscal, accounting, or logistical control.

What Are Partial Shipments or Receipts?

Partial shipments and receipts allow you to deliver or receive an order in multiple parts instead of a single delivery. This is especially useful when:

Full inventory is not available.
The customer requests deliveries on different dates.
Logistics require splitting the order by transport or location.

Simply put, it allows for partial deliveries or receipts on a single order without having to recreate it multiple times — all while maintaining traceability, tax compliance, and retention accuracy.

The Value of Our Localization

At LLB Solutions, we’ve optimized this functionality to not only manage partial shipments, but also to correctly calculate and apply taxes and withholdings for each partial transaction.

This means you can:

Stay compliant with local tax regulations.
Avoid billing errors.
Keep clear and up-to-date reports.

Options for Handling Partials in Business Central

With our localization, you can manage partial shipments and receipts in both the Sales and Purchasing modules in three ways:

Ship Without Invoicing
Record partial shipments without generating an invoice immediately.
Taxes and withholdings are only calculated on the invoiced amount later.
Multiple Shipments, Single Invoice
Perfect when you want to centralize billing into a single document once the order is complete.
Ship and Invoice by Partial
Ideal when your customer requires an invoice for each partial delivery.

Step-by-Step: How It Works

The process uses the “Quantity to Ship” (or “Quantity to Receive”) field on each order line, which is adjusted before posting the shipment or receipt.

In the Sales Module:

Create the order with the full requested quantity.
Adjust the quantity to ship for each partial.
Post the partial shipment from the warehouse.
Repeat the process until the order is fulfilled and invoiced.

In the Purchasing Module:

Create the purchase order with the total quantity.
Adjust the quantity to receive for each partial.
Post the partial receipt.
Repeat until the order is fully received and invoiced.
