Order quantity not complete or

2. Required delivery date has not been confirmed in time.

Backorder processing is functionality in SAP where we can change the commitments and over-ride the
blockage of stocks marked against sales documents/deliveries.

Example:
1. You receive an order from a very important customer for material "A" but the entire quantity of A is
committed to another customer "B" via earlier sales orders. BACKORDER processing helps to
change the commitment and shift stock due for B to A.
2. While doing sales order the material is not available sometimes at that time we give the delivery date
whenever we expect goods. If the goods available earlier than delivery date we can go back with
sales order and deliver the goods before first delivery date
Types of Backorder
There are two types of Back order processing
1. Manual Backorder
2. Reschedule Backorder


1. Manual Backorder Processing:
In this process we can reduce the confirmed quantity of line item of one sales order and reallocate that
quantity to item of another sales order.

There are 2 transactions to do it:
Based on the SD Document: V_RA
Based on the Material: CO06


Transaction Code: V_RA
Here we have to fill either Material date or Customer Data along with Organizational Data
















Select all open sales order for which you want to do Backorder processing.
Then click or Backorders button.

2. Rescheduling Process.
This could be used:
a. When we reduce the confirmed quantity of one sales order and want to allocate it to another
sales order automatically on basis of delivery priority rule.
b. To redetermine the available date and delivery date on basis of delivery priority rule for the sales
orders created during non availability of stock (at that time system would have provided a delivery
date in future).
The Delivery priority is taken from the customer master in sales order and can be used as a sort criterion
for orders during rescheduling process.
