To schedule a lot item backorder shipment:If the lot item has no other open ship date generations and the lot price or lot cost are not billed in full, the system prompts you to create a new backorder ship date. The system determines this date based on the vendor's B/O Days field setting in Vendor Maintenance. This setting takes into account how long, on average, manufacturing items takes when determining when more of the product will be available to ship. You can change the date to any date after the suggested date. Use the new ship date generation to complete the lot item's billing at a later time.
To schedule a lot item backorder shipment:
On the A/P Entry screen, when the backorder prompt displays, do one of the following:
Accept the suggested backorder date.
Enter the backorder ship date at the prompt.
Press Enter to process both the sales order and the purchase order, to create a new generation that does not include materials, and to return to the A/P Entry screen.
Note: To see the backorder generation you just created, refresh the A/P Entry screen by closing it completely and then reopening it.
