Purchase Order Project Costing

Please can someone advise on the best way to allocate a purchase order to a project, for reporting purposes, when it is for labour? Basically if you want to create a PO for £10k of labour on a project, and each week an invoice is raised for part of the PO e.g. £1k - 1. what is the best way to post the PO and/or invoice and 2. what project report(s) show this commitment etc?
Thanks in advance! Hope the questions make sense.

If you were to order a large quantity of anything in advance you would have the same issue.
The solution is to do part deliveries against the PO.
If you do a PO for 1000 hours @ £10 and hour then you can book in the hours as they are done.
If you have a or you could do 100 lots of £100 and deliver the percentage of the order that was provided.
You could do 10000 @ £1 and deliver in the £value
If it is 5 months @ £2000 a month you can deliver in 1 (month) at a time.
If you do 1 lot of £10000 things can get tricky as the smallest amount you can deliver (without changing DP settings) is 0.01 which is £100 which might not be near enough for your purposes.
