oracle order management backorder

Back Orders:

The Oracle "term" backorder is a "status" on the order line or delivery line indicating that you have tried to release an order for picking in your warehouse, but that the pick release was UNSUCCESSFUL because there was no available inventory.(Backorder can be partial or complete). The Oracle term backorder does NOT mean that you have open purchase orders for the out-of-stock item from your vendors.

The term backorder is also used in business a little differently than in Oracle. The term "An item is on backorder" usually means that the item is not in stock, but the shipping company has already placed purchase orders from their suppliers to restock the item.

Back Order is when you do not fulfill the Sales Order, or if the inventory is out of stock for delivery to customer.

Reasons for a Sales Order to get Backordered!

A Sales Order can get into backorder state after performing Pick Release on a Sales Order but there are many reasons for a Sales Order to get backorder. Today I will list the possible reasons for a Sales Order to get backorder.

1) Order on Hold
2) Inventory Period NOT open
3) No enough on-hand quantity
4) No enough quantity to reserve/transact
5) No on-hand quantity in required sub-inventory
6) The Lot from which items are selected is inactive/expired
7) Wrong Item reservation (even inventory have enough quantity)
8) Inventory reserved for other sales orders
9) Inventory picked-up by other sales orders
10) Previously done return to stock not properly performed
11) Move order is in pending state.

NOTE: This is not the end of the list, there will be many reasons for a sales order to get backorder. I will keep this list updated as and when I come across some more new reasons.
