Automated back order of items in a supplier order

In Accounting right desktop edition it was possible to open a supplier order for inventory items and convert it to a bill, indicating in each of the lines how many items were received. The software backordered automatically the correct number of items accoring to the orgininal order.

For example, we ordere originally 5 x 1234 

I open the order, bill it, and before record it, we indicated we only recieved 3 of the item 1234 and the other 2 will automatically go to back order.

This does not happen in the online vertion and you need to manually enter the back ordered items.

The other thing that happens in the online version is that the supplier Bill will contain all items including the back order items with quantity zero (picture attached). The back order contains the item that has been back ordered (this is fine, although the Bill says nothing in back order - see picture) and the item details show that the item is on order (see picture) as there is indeed a back order for the item.

Question one: Is there a way to have the number of back ordered items to be automatically created as per previous MYOB?

Question two: Is there any way to omit those items that have been back ordered from the original Bill instead of showing these as quantity zero?

 

Thank youItem detailsZero quantity showing as a lineback order

    Hi PMsep

     

    Thanks for reaching out. 

     

    Currently, the backorder feature is only available in the desktop version and not yet translated to the online application counterpart. Here is the help article Comparing inventory in MYOB Business and AccountRight that could give you more information regarding the difference of online and desktop versions. Rest assured the team's goal is to make the online application as close as the desktop version as possible.  

     

    Here is the help article MYOB Business release notes that will give you information regarding the updates of the current online version. 

     

    Let me know if you require any further assistance. I'm happy to assist you.
