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.
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 on the receipt date.
- The received quantity of the goods is (partially) rejected during inspection and the Payable to Supplier 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.
