Creating a backorder

For a contract deliverable with the status Delivered, if the delivered quantity is less than the ordered quantity, a backorder line for the undelivered goods is generated in the Contract Deliverables (tppdm7100m100) session. The Backorder Present check box in this session indicates that a backorder is created for the deliverable line. A deliverable schedule line for the backorder is created, if the Backorder check box is selected in the Contract Deliverables Schedule (tppdm7100m200) session.

Backorders can be created for hardware and non-hardware deliverables. The backorder data can be viewed in the Backorders (tppdm7100m300), Contract Deliverables Monitor (tppdm7100m400), Contract Deliverables (tppdm7100m100), and the Contract Deliverables Schedule (tppdm7100m200) sessions.

For the contract deliverables of the type, Hardware, the backorder deliverables are released to warehousing, only if the status of the backorder line is Active and the Release Backorders automatically to Warehousing check box in the Contract Parameters (tpctm0100m000) session is selected. The application updates the status of the backorder line to Released to Warehousing. The status of the backorders can be manually changed to Active, as required.

The backorder data can be printed only as a part of the contract acknowledgment if the Contract Deliverables check box and Include Backorder Lines check box is selected in the Print Contract Acknowledgments (tpctm1400m000) session.
