Use either of the following ship confirm Options:
• Ship Entered Quantities, Unspecified Quantities Backorder: The ship confirm
process splits the delivery line as follows:
• The original line quantity is the detailed quantity. Its released status
Progresses--Released to Warehouse becomes Staged/Pick Confirmed and
Staged/Pick Confirmed becomes Shipped.
• The new line quantity is the difference between the requested quantity and the
detailed quantity. Its line status is backordered. It has no move order line
reference; it will have one after you pick release it.
• Backorder All: The ship confirm process places the delivery line into backorder.
• With either option, if the delivery detail is assigned to a trip in Contents Firm
Status, the ship confirm process keeps the delivery and container assignments. If the
trip is not firm, the ship confirm process unpacks packed containers.
When you backorder at ship confirm, the inventory shows in a staging location. If you move the backordered material, you should perform a subinventory transfer
Transaction, if the material needs to be moved back to its original location, to record this movement.
If an Assemble to Order (ATO) item is backordered, the sales order line will be split
(One part of the line contains the quantity that shipped and the other part of the line
Contains the backordered quantity) and the reservation for the item will be lost. You
Will have to re-reserve the item. However, by setting the profile option WSH: Retain
ATO Reservations to Yes, you can avoid the redundancy of re-reserving the item. The
Inventory system retains the reservation and the reservation status changes from Staged to Upstage, while the delivery line status changes to Backordered.
