    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!

    A lot of ecommerce sites don't manage inventory for every product, instead relying on backordering products when they are ordered. This causes issues when trying to sync order invoices to Xero as it requires there to be stock on hand in Xero. Backorder inventory would solve this problem.
