Back Orders

Select Orders >> Back Orders >> All Back Orders.

Back Orders Grid

Items that had insufficient or no stock during the Sales Order process go on backorder. The items will then be purchased by the purchasing officer and once received, entered into the system. As back orders are processed, new Sales Orders are created for each item. This is so that costings are accurately entered into the system.

It is very important to Invoice a Sales Order that has items in stock, whether partial or total quantities to keep the true cost of products accurate for accounting.

Once the Order Entry is complete, the outstanding back orders can be processed and released to the warehouse for processing.

You can select All Back Orders or Back Orders By Cust, the choice is yours.

All Back Orders - This will allow you to see ‘all’ back orders that are in the system.
Back Orders By Cust - This will only show all Back Orders for the selected customer.

Select the Order number/s you want to release to the system and press Process Orders.

Sales Order/s will be created and sent to the printer for picking. These Picking Slips will have a note referencing them to the original Sales Order.
