Backorder adds custom features to back order Components on Builds and later update.


Backorder Add Component lets you add items to the built item in an Item Adjustment.


Backorder adds custom handling of Orders, Builds, and Invoices to manage backorders.

To start, this feature set focuses on Components which may be missing for your Kits. Build your kits, clicking B/O for missing components. Enter Order # to link the order.

Then, click B/O on your final invoices to have them update Cost, Profit, and Income. BigBusiness will automatically adjust the kits and components to post appropriately.


Backorder Build lets you link the Item Adjustment(s) used for Build(s) for your Order.

On an Item Adjustment enter the Order # and check that is finds the correct Customer. The Show menu will now list the Order linked and any Invoices that link to the Order.


Backorder Revenue re-posts any Prepay from backorder invoices to recognize revenue. This fixes the accounting so the income matches the cost of sales for your components.

Linking is through the Order so the fulfillment of components must be from the Order. It may list the kit sent on one invoice and any backordered components invoiced later.

The Order is also linked to the Item Adjustment where you backordered components.


Backorder Volume handles multiple Builds with backorders, from an Order to Invoices.

Within a Build, you can have multiple built items for the order and paths to fulfillment. You can create multiple Invoices fulfilling backorders and updating revenue recognition.


Backorder Profit updates profit on orders and invoices with backordered components.

When you click B/O you can update Cost, and Profit is updated to include backorders. This will update the Profit Amt., Ext. Profit, and Profit % to use full Built item costs.


Backorder Component lets you click the B/O Checkbox to remove from the Built item.

Clicking B/O will recalculate the Cost of the Built item and track any BO Qty or Cost. The B/O button on linked Order or Invoices can be clicked to update Cost and Prepay.


Backorder Prepay helps recognize revenue appropriately for backordered components.

Using the Prepayment Category it posts a proportional amount of sale to this account. This is reversed when backorder components shipped on zero-dollar invoices to fulfill.


Backorder Accounting posts Invoices with backorders to your Prepayment Category.


Backorder Item Adjustment is found from the Show menu on linked Order and Invoice.


Backorder Reset automatically reverts backorder costs and prepay amounts as needed.

If you remove the backorders on a Build, click B/O on its pending Invoice to update it.


Backorder Balance helps update accounting for invoices with backordered components.


Backorder Update lets you update Costs for built items with backorders that changed.


Backorder Restore lets you unmark a component that is backordered in the Build and then update Orders and Invoices, if in a timely fashion, so they reflect corrected costs.


Backorder Reload lets you update costs for built items with backordered components.


Backorder Replace helps you fill backorders for Built items with backorders gone past.


Backorder Button appears on the Profit tab of Sales Order to click to update Costs.

This works in conjunction with the B/O column on Item Adjustments used for Builds. If a Component has been marked B/O to remove it, it can be unmarked B/O to restore.


Backorder Disallowed tells you the backorder operation you are attempting is blocked.

For example, on an Item Adjustment you may have a B/O Checkbox that doesn't work. It could the entry predates the Backorder function or it just might not be a component.


Backorder QuickFind puts the Show pulldown on Item Adjustments to help you find.

From a Build you may need to find an Order or its Invoices to manage the backorders. From an Auto-Build you might want to find its Invoice.
