Showing ordered quantity on delivery notes and sales invoices

ERPNext

Hello

I have a question related to sales order management in ERPNext …

Is it possible to show the original ordered quantity of an item (as recorded in the sales order) on subsequent delivery notes and sales invoices, so that these documents can show the customer the ordered qty vs the qty being currently delivered/invoiced vs the remaining qty still to be delivered/invoiced.

For eg. customer ordered 10 x Item A, we can only supply 5, and 5 go to backorder. We’d like to have on the customer’s delivery note and sales invoice a column showing they ordered 10, another column showing 5 being delivered/invoiced, and then another column showing 5 on backorder.

Any information on this greatly appreciated.

Hello @CLV,
Yes, it is possible to display the ordered quantity and delivered quantity on delivery notes and sales invoices. This information is currently missing, but you can achieve the desired result by overriding the base function. We have done similar modifications in the past, although the context was slightly different from simply displaying quantities.
