Back Orders (Employees)

Back Orders Overview

Back Orders displays a list of all system-generated back orders.

When a vendor is unable to fully supply one or more products in a purchase order, the system records the unfulfilled quantities as back orders. A separate back order is created for each affected product. For example, if a purchase order includes five different products but the vendor can only partially supply two of them, the system will generate two back orders — one for each impacted product.
