Sales Invoices - Allow to have column for backorders
To have a column of back orders/negative items within the Sales Invoices.
Purpose: Users can easily enter back ordered items rather than doing extra steps of adding 1 more item in their inventory.
Hi team, I'm pleased to share that backorders capability is now in the process of rolling out to customers.
Once available in your org, you'll be able to approve sales invoices for tracked inventory even when there isn't enough available stock.
Your available stock will be allocated first, with the remaining quantity placed on backorder. As stock comes in it'll be automatically allocated to the oldest approved backorders.
You'll also see clearer inventory visibility through available quantity and backorder indicators in both your invoicing and inventory experience.
We'll keep monitoring feedback as availability expands, and I'll return to share another update once this is available to all users. Thanks!

When dealing with stock quantities that have - say - been invoiced at the wrong price to us, we need to be able to back them out at a price and re-enter at a price without mucking up the quantity (ie 100 tonnes of wheat at $250 versus 100 tonnes of wheat at $320. Dont want to add another 100 tonnes of wheat at $70 to ge the $ right as the quantity will then be wrong. Need the whole transaction to be 100 tonnes at ($250) and 100 tonnes at $320. Makes it so much more traceable with the customer.

Being able to enter negative quantities.
Purpose: Allowing negative quantities makes more transparency when sending invoices to customers.
