# Add a back-ordered item to a received purchase order and create multiple bills

## Problem

You have a PO that is fully received, but you need to add a back-ordered item to it. You also want to create multiple bills for different orders within this PO.

## Solution

### Add a back-ordered item to a received purchase order and create multiple bills

By following these steps, you can efficiently manage back-ordered items and create multiple bills for a single PO, ensuring accurate tracking and billing for your orders.

**Adding a Back-Ordered Item to a Received PO**

1. Go to the PO that you want to edit.

2. Cancel the receipt of the PO. This action changes the PO's status back to *Sent*.

3. **Edit** the PO. Now, you can add any items that were on back order.

4. Save your changes to the PO.

**Creating Multiple Bills for Multiple Orders within a PO**

1. Partially receive the PO. Do this by receiving only certain items at a time from separate shipments.

2. Each time you receive items from the PO, a new receipt will be generated.

3. Use each new receipt to create a separate bill for the items received.

4. Repeat these steps for each shipment until all items are received and billed accordingly.
