The FTC requires you to send backorder cards to notify customers when an item is currently out of stock, and when you expect the item to arrive. Generally, you need to mail backorder cards immediately for mail orders, while you can inform customers who phone in their orders if an item is out of stock.

Backorder cards print when you run the Generate Backorder Cards option (fast path = GBOC). See Generate Backorder Notices (GBOC).
