Hi Purnima,

Backorder in principle is an ‘Offer’ and not an ‘Order’. Once it gets released, it becomes a normal order.

For example: 1 Dealer(Baja) has three bikes for the month of feb(allocated by Bajaj franchise) and has exhausted the stock and for that particular month he wants some more vehicle then he can place an offer for the same then its upto franchise or whom so concerned to allocate if allocated it becomes a back order.It helps sales team.

Hi,

Backorder is a distribution term that refers to the status of items on a purchase order in the event that some or all of the inventory required to fulfill the order is out of stock . This differs from a forward order where stock is available but delivery is postponed for another reason.

A sales order which cannot be delivered in the Requested Delivery date is called as Backorder. The availability may be confirmed on this at later point of time when the confirmed availabilities are rescheduled in V_V2 tcode based on the stock availability at that time.

Backorder Processing

Backorder processing is a functionality in SAP where you can change the committments and over-ride the blockage of stocks

marked against sales documents/deliveries. For e.g. you receive an order from a very important customer for material "A" but

the entire quantity of A is committed to another customer "B" via earlier sales orders and this is where BACKORDER processing helps you to change the committment and shift stock due for B to A. This is the benefit of this funtionality.
