Glad to see you here, Rita12.

I'm here to help you with receiving partial shipment on purchase orders in QuickBooks Online. As long as this Purchase orders feature is turned on, you can receive partial PO's in QBO. The process is easy and simple.

To turn on Purchase orders:

1. Go to the Settings icon and select Accounts and Settings.
2. Select the Expenses tab.
3. In the Purchase orders section, click the pencil icon.
4. Tick the box Use purchase orders.
5. Click Save, and then Done.
   

Once done, you're now ready to receive partial purchase orders in QBO. Here's how:

1. Start creating PO.
   
2. Create an Expense transaction and manually enter the partial quantity received.
   
3. The original purchase order now reflects this.
   

Once you receive a partial purchase order to reflect the total quantity in QuickBooks, QBO will close the PO and directs you to the link of the expense transaction with which you're able to receive the partial PO.

Please note that customizing Purchase Order is only available in QuickBooks Online Advanced version.

I've included additional articles for future reference:
