If you choose not to back order, the shortfall quantity will show as negative stock for the stock item, and the Sales Order can be processed. Backordering is a common tactic in retail that helps you retain customers, outclass your competitors, and build hype. Note: The Check available stock for sales orders profile setting affects the checks that determine when this window appears. When you supply a Sales Order with insufficient stock to supply a line, the Stock Shortage window is displayed, asking if you want to back order the shortfall quantity: (If you have the MYOB EXO Business Configurator, you can turn this setting off by changing the Enforce constraint of sales order quantity and release quantity Company-level profile setting.) Communicate Openly with Your Fulfillment Partners. To use a simple example, if you have a Sales Order of 10 of an item, but want to only supply 5 of the 10, to ration out the shipment of the item you have just received, 5 will have a status of Back order, to be supplied at a future date, and 5 will have a status of Release, to part-supply the Sales Order. To avoid any hiccups in your supply chain with backorders, follow these steps: 1. Adjust the Back Order quantity to what you require, and the Release quantity is automatically adjusted. the Back Order quantity is separate from the Release quantity. The sum of the Release and Back Order quantities equal the Sales Order quantity, i.e. The Release quantity is the quantity of an undelivered stock item that remains "allocated" to a Sales Order. In MYOB EXO Business, in addition to the status of Back Order, there is also the status of Release. However, you may also want to ration your available quantity of a stock item across a number of Sales Orders, to ensure each Sales Order at least is partly supplied.
