Much confusion arises between a PO status of back order versus a backorder quantity on PO. A PO can have a backorder status if a receipt of goods but no invoice has been done, or if a receipt of invoice but no goods has been done, or if a line truly is on back order. It is confusing to the end user. A PO status of incomplete would better reflect the status of the PO.

  • In the 2024 Release, we added a new "Received" status for the PO. When purchase orders have been received but not invoiced, the order will now have a status of Received instead of Back Order to correctly reflect the state of the order and you’ll be able to print orders and reports based on the new Received status.
