Use Backorder to create a new purchase order from unreceived items

This is part of the Purchasing Add-on Module

If you have unreceived items on a purchase order that you wish to remove and put onto a new purchase order, you can use the Backorder tool to do that.

  1. Open the purchase order with remaining items. You can see all unreceived items in the “Left” column of the “Main View” tab on the purchase order.
  2. Click on backorder icon Backorder on the taskbar. Note that the order must be in the Confirmed or Pending status and not be “In Transit” to use the Backorder tool.
  3. Select the new Expected Date for the order.
  4. Confirm the “Qty To Backorder” column to be sure all the items should be transferred.
  5. Click Create and a new order will appear in the right pane. The backordered items will be removed from the original purchase order, allowing it to be posted.
