Special System Setting - Test Automatic Back Order Fill (SYS 914 ) - There is a special system maintenance function in the green screen that has not been added to Navigator. It allows you to test your back order fills. This function fills the back orders based on your settings, but does not actually post the receipts. This allows you to review the back order reports and then use INB 4 - Fill Back Orders to proceed or make changes as needed. This option is accessed via option SYS 914 - Test Automatic Back Order Fill on the Special System Maintenance Functions Menu (SYS). It uses a screen that is nearly identical to the INB 5 Post Receipts screen.
