Is there any way to add a shipping card to a purchase order? This way we could add tracking numbers on purchase orders quickly see their shipping status. ---

Hi If you enable the " SHIPMENTS " module , then you should have shipments in your PO card page . ---

Hi Shipment module is enabled (it’s used heavy in Sales Orders) but there is no “Shipment” page under Purchase orders card. ![2021-11-02_151831](https://www.dolibarr.org/forum/uploads/dolibarrorg/original/2X/4/4a85e214e6a983d0cda4ea61e00616625a23a3dc.png) ---

Hi Have you tried to disable purchase module and shipment module and enable them again ? Also , do you give the user shipment module permission ? ---

Hello My user (admin) has full access to all modules, I just double checked it. Shipping module for Customer Order works fine, but not for Vendor/Purchase orders. I tried to disable Vendor/Shipping and enable, but still cannot find Shipping card in a purchase order. ---

Hi As my testing . Do you enable RECEPTION module ? If so , after you create a PO to vendor , do you make a order ? ![image](https://www.dolibarr.org/forum/uploads/dolibarrorg/original/2X/b/b7c5736ddac5a3af2e20b35c715076510c3a54bf.png) After you make a order , you will see create receotion . ![image](https://www.dolibarr.org/forum/uploads/dolibarrorg/original/2X/f/fb86506b56c5ad9984124d58b2a4c623fbc474aa.png) ---

Hi Thanks for the reply. There is a “classify reception” in the purchase order, which we use when the goods have received. However, this is not what I’m asking for. We would like to add a shipment card to the purchase order, so we can add a tracking number to the purchase order, so we can track the shipment **before** it’s delivered / reception. Just like it works for Sales Orders (see image of a sales order shipment). ![2021-11-03_183504](https://www.dolibarr.org/forum/uploads/dolibarrorg/original/2X/e/e8eaa71d9ac969d4b3e03aeedfe568d8fd2bbfaf.png) ---

Hi It is a little confusing . Shipment card is used for you sell product to your customer , and reception card is used for you purchase a product from your vendor . If you enable reception module and create a reception card , then you will see a tracking number as below . ![image](https://www.dolibarr.org/forum/uploads/dolibarrorg/original/2X/f/f303edc57bc6a13b04651873b9fddf408bb9f114.png) ---

Ahhh, thank you! That was confusing indeed. Even more confusing is that you have to have a registered product (in stock) in the PO otherwise a reception card is not possible to create. Sometimes we order things for internal use (printer paper, printer ink, etc) that does not belong to the stock, so I had to create a junk product to add in all future PO to be able to add shipping number. ---

Hi But i think for company , everything you buy should purchase it and into stock . That is why dolibarr combine PO and shipment . But i think it will be a good idea if these function could be separated . You may go to Github and request this function . ---
