Purchase backorders

If a final receipt is made for a purchase order (detail) line and only a part of the goods or none of the goods are received, a backorder is created.

Note

Before purchase backorders can be generated, the Back Orders Allowed check box must be selected in the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session.

If the receipt is a final receipt, the following results in a backorder:

  • The received quantity of the purchase order line is less than the ordered quantity at the time of delivery date.
  • The received quantity of the goods is (partially) rejected during inspection and the Inventory Disposition check box is cleared in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.
  • The received quantity is equal to the ordered quantity, but the user changes the backorder quantity from zero into a higher value.

Backorders can be automatically or manually confirmed, which you can specify in the Confirm Back Orders Automatically check box of the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session.
