Is there a way to update the delivery date per line item rather than just for the whole PO? We currently get orders dispatched as per the stock availability from the supplier, so are unable to accurately track when items are arriving.

Great question Katherine, this is something I'm actively working through right now.
The core challenge is syncing JIT material delivery with production scheduling. When your production windows are measured in weeks, a day's uncertainty in supplier delivery is manageable. When they're measured in hours, the same uncertainty stops the floor entirely.
That's our situation. We manufacture to order and our raw materials arrive just-in-time for each run. A short or late delivery doesn't just delay one job, it cascades across everything scheduled behind it.
The specific problem we're trying to solve is updating fields on each purchase order daily from a supplier WIP file. Getting that import automated is what will give our team the confidence to commit to a production schedule.
Curious whether anyone has found a native WorkGuru approach for this, or whether the API is a path.
