Public Property BackOrder() As BoYesNoEnum

To enable backorders set also the PartialDelivery property to tYES.

Backorder enables you to change the commitments and over-ride the blockage of stocks marked against sales documents/deliveries. For example, you receive an order from a very important customer for material "A" but the entire quantity of A is committed to another customer "B" via earlier sales orders and this is where BACKORDER processing helps you to change the committment and shift stock due for B to A. This is the benefit of this functionality.
