Back Order Register Workspace

Use this workspace to view the order lines that Maconomy transferred from sales orders for which you selected Transfer in the Back Order Handling field.

The information is displayed by customer. The Back Order Register tab displays selected customer information, and the Order Lines sub-tab displays the transferred order lines.

Maconomy transfers backorders from a sales order to the backorder register when you make a delivery (that is, print a packing slip), and the quantity that was delivered is less than the quantity that was ordered. The quantity delivered is subtracted from the quantity ordered, and Maconomy creates a line in the backorder register that indicates how much remains to be delivered, how much was ordered, the quantity delivered up to now, the original sales order line, and the price calculation.

You can transfer order lines in the backorder register to a sales order by selecting the Back Order Handling field in the Sales Orders workspace. Then, when you use the Print Picking List action in the Sales Orders workspace, Maconomy transfers lines that are entered to the ship-to customer on the sales order. However, Maconomy only transfer lines that have the same currency and can be delivered on the sales order. Similar functionality applies if you use the Create Packing List action in the Sales Orders workspace without first creating a warehouse transaction or picking list. For more information on this process, see the Print Picking List and Print Packing List actions in the Sales Orders workspace.

You can also transfer backorder lines to sales orders from this workspace using the Assign to Sales Orders action, in which case Maconomy tries to find suitable orders for the items on backorder.

You can delete lines one at a time using the Index menu, but you can also delete several lines at a time by selecting them as blocked and using the Delete Blocked Lines action in the Action menu.

If the transferred order line is an itemized BOM, you can see the BOM lines in the Order Lines workspace.
