Inventory Invoice Back Orders tab

Invoice Back Order tab Overview

Invoice back orders are used when you want to automatically keep track of what goods customers have ordered, but not received so you can ship them out at a later date. Tracking of customer back orders requires significant additional work and therefore most retail businesses do not use this feature. If you wish to use Invoice back orders, you must first turn on the option. See: Invoice Options 1 - Use Back Orders on Invoices

The Invoice Back Orders tab is only visible in the Inventory Details window when the option is enabled. The Invoice Back Orders tab is shown in Figure 1.

Some tab functions work in relation to the window's Toolbar. Click Toolbar to view detailed information about the Toolbar button options.
