Calculate Backordered Quantities Based on Customer Options
Order Entry also uses the settings in the Accounts Receivable customer record to decide whether to place out-of-stock items on backorder.
If the customer allows backorders (which arise when you do not have the quantity on hand to fully ship an order), select Allow Backorder Quantities on the Invoicing tab in the Accounts Receivable customer record.
If you select this option for a customer, and you:
-
Use the option in Order Entry to calculate backorder quantities, Order Entry automatically calculates the backorder quantity when you ship an order for the customer.
-
Do not use Calculate Backorder Quantities, you can manually enter the backorder amount in Order Entry.
-
Use the option in Order Entry to commit backordered quantities, Order Entry also creates a commitment for the unfilled portion of the order.
If you do not select this option for the customer in A/R, the quantity backordered field in Order Entry will be disabled for this customer. Also, Order Entry will not create a commitment for unfilled quantities on partial shipments.
