How Back Ordering Works

When an open Purchase Order is linked to an invoice (see Figure 1 below), you can choose to Backorder an item (see Figure 2 below).

If you select Backorder, reciProfity will calculate the difference between the ordered and received quantities and creates a back-order Purchase Order using the same PO number.
