Filling Backorders

Main Menu | Transactions | BACKORDERS-Fill Backorders

The Fill Backorders screen (below) shows only the unfilled backorders on the database. Notice the “Date Filled” column of the Backorder Grid is blank. Here, we select only one backorder record to fill (highlighted in blue below).

Note:

Ultra does not automatically FILL backorders

 

Therefore, you must periodically load Main Menu | Transactions | BACKORDERS-Fill Backorders and perform a “fill” accumulated backorders from this screen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Filling them, however, is easy, and you may elect to fill all or selected backorders with a single click of a button (bottom).

 

 

Fill Selected Backorders.

 

Notice that the selected backorder was filled and the “Date Filled” column is inscribed with today’s date.

 

 

A confirmation message tells us that our selected backorder was "filled."

 

 

 

 

The three items not filled show up in the "BACKORDERS NOT FILLED" listbox (right,bottom.

 

When you click “OK”, the backorder row is removed from the grid.

 

Unfillable Backorder

 

In this case, we select “Pens” to be filled but if ULTRA shows there is not enough stock on hand, it will not be filled.

 

To verify the fill, we click the "View/Print" button (bottom of the screen above), and our Backorder PRINT Options appear in the center of the screen (below).

 

 

We select the "Today's Backorders: FILLED only" option button (right) to verify our "Mouse Pads" backorder was filled.

 

 

When we call up our supply item in Single Item Update, sure enough, we see our backorder was filled and logged out.

 

 

 

Note: the "oB" in the "!" column. This transaction code indicates a “log out filled by a backorder.”

Fill ALL Backorders.  

 

Now we will attempt to fill the three open backorders (below) using the "FILL ALL" button.

 

 

This button automatically selects all open items as shown here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: The “28 filled” message box (right) shows that many of the open backorders were filled here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The 9 backorders showing in the “Backorders NOT FILLED” box (right) will remain "open" until we log in enough new units to allow these backorders to be filled.

 

 

The Units OH column holds the answer — zero units were on hand when we tried to fill these backorders!

 

The View button allows you to view the Single Item Update screen of the selected item

The Help button gives you information about the Fill Backorders function.
