Why Should POs and Backorders Be Connected?

  • Prevent Overselling: Linking purchase orders (POs) with backorders helps prevent the occurrence of overselling products that are on backorder.

  • Policy Requirement: Our policy mandates the creation of a purchase order (PO) for every backorder. Backorders must be based on a linked PO, ensuring accurate tracking and fulfillment.

  • Ensure Inventory Accuracy: Connecting POs and backorders ensures accurate inventory management. This connection minimizes discrepancies between available stock and customer orders.

  • Enhance Customer Satisfaction: Preventing overselling through linked POs and backorders enhances customer satisfaction. It reduces the risk of customers ordering products that are not be available in stock.

  • Operational Efficiency: This approach improves operational efficiency by reducing errors and minimizing the need for manual intervention in managing inventory and orders.

By enforcing the connection between POs and backorders, we aim to optimize inventory management processes and provide a seamless experience for both you and your customers.
