We fairly regularly make purchase orders with lines linked to projects/jobs.

Curently, the line is only 'posted to the job' when the line is invoiced, and not when merely recieved. I can see why, as the actual cost might not be known until the invoice is recieved after receipt.

But there are cases when being able to receive it to the job, and add it to the job ledger/planning lines, before the order line is invoiced would be advantageous.

Perhaps a solution would be to have Qty to Receive, Quantity to Invoice and Quanity to Job (if a job no is allocated) field on the order lines. There is probably a better way, but unless the line is entered manually, and not linked to the PO, then the job is not 'up to date' until the purchase invoice is posted, and costs can be missed when invoicing the job.
