The fields which will appear blank are Quantity, Qty Delivered, Qty Cancelled and Open Quantity.
 
However, you can still view the amount which has been received so far by selecting the order number hyperlink. The amounts received and invoiced will be summarised in a table on the right-hand side of the page.
