Backorder
An unfilled customer order or commitment.
A backorder includes quantities committed to another party upon their arrival (usually seen at Central to represent commitments to a field location).
The backorder quantity is subtracted from actual inventory for purposes of order recommendations and calculating Excess.
The backorder quantity also reflects the backorder amount for down-chain replaced parts.
The Backorder Original comes from a Backorder amount being mapped into the Stock Amount for the part.
