INB 4 - F9 Back Order Fill Restrictions

This screen establishes restrictions regarding which back order should be filled from which warehouses. The rules on this screen should be set according to how you manage back orders on your system.

The parameters on this screen must be met in order for back orders to be filled for the warehouses specified. The way in which you set up this screen depends on how you enter back orders. If you specify the warehouse from which the order needs to be filled on the detail line, then you should consider restricting based on the detail warehouse. If you have set policies as to which warehouse fills which order based on the location of the customer, then consider using the header warehouse field by which to restrict.
