Update This Line - Click on this button to receive one line at a time. In the case of partial receipts, you can choose whether or not to backorder the remaining quantities on the PO.
Note: A shipment cannot be backordered because once a shipment comes in, it cannot be received again. To receive the backordered amounts, either receive it through PO Receipts or create a new shipment in transit and receive it.

Once the shipment has been fully received, the status of the shipment will be 'C'omplete. The inventory will be increased by the quantities received and the PO(s) will be updated accordingly. Once the PO(s) is received through the Shipment in Transit module, there is no need to receive the PO separately. In fact, you cannot receive that PO in PO Receipts.
