When transporting different kinds of loose goods or liquids/gasses, there may be a difference between the loaded quantity on the truck and the delivered quantity, because of losses during transport (leakage/spillage, change in temperature, imprecise unloading if truck has several stops...).


In this case, you can try modelling the truck as a mobile warehouse only post packing slips when actual delivery quantities are known, but this can be cumbersome. I propose an additional document on the sales order, linked to a packing slip, called "proof of delivery" (POD). If POD invoicing were active for a sales line, only the quantities confirmed for receipt would be subject to invoicing, the difference between the picked/delivered quantity and total received/actually delivered quantity would need to be "sold" as a cost.

Thank you for your feedback, to enable a POD process is part of our long term backlog. 

It has a lower stack rank compare to other scenario we are working on or prioritized, but it offered a lot a customer value.

It can also be split in various incremental business scenarios, with adjustment or not, etc
