Click the Go button to allocate the selected inventory to the shop order and or client orders that require it.This function enables the user to fill backorders for both Client and Shop orders at the same time.
When this function is run, the system auto-fills the quantity allocated by cycling through each parent item and distributing the Quantity Available to the Quantity Allocated for as many child lines as possible.
Although this function was originally designed for use with Material Requisitioning, it is also recommended for Client Order and Shop Order Backorder filling instead of the older View Back Orders and View Back Orders for Shop.
By default, Obsolete Locations and Inventory Items are now excluded from Start Backorder Filling. A registry (see below) may be implemented to have Start Fill Backorders include Obsolete Items and/or Locations.
See Registry Entry Start Backorder Filling to control the order in which backorders are filled and to allow obsolete items and locations to be incluced.
