FAQ

What are the different types of Back Orders in RMPro and when should they be used?

Backorders can occur in RMPro in three main situations: program or catalog back orders, which involve ordering inventory from vendors to fulfill customer orders; out-of-stock back orders, which may arise when items are consigned to a customer, on a layaway invoice, on approval, ordered from a vendor but not yet received, returned to a vendor, sold, in another location, on a suspended invoice, or on an active quotation to another customer; and custom back orders, which involve companies providing custom designed items for their customers.

What Is the Difference Between Backorder and Custom Order?

While backorders can be used to manage custom orders in RMPro, it is important to note that this type of order is better suited for a dedicated module called Custom Order, which is specifically designed for managing custom-designed items for customers. Although backorders can handle custom orders, using the Custom Order module provides a more streamlined and efficient process for managing the complexities of custom orders.

How can I access Back Order Item Status in RMPro?

In the reporting module, open the “Back Order Item Status” report under “Customer Reports”. The Back Order Item Status report provides a detailed listing of all backorder items currently unlinked. It also allows users to view the current status of various back order items and helps them manage back orders efficiently.
