Unconditional Suppression of Backorder Card (F19)

Purpose: Use this screen to indicate whether items flagged to suppress a backorder notice ever appear on a backorder card, even if another item on the order generates the notice.

Yes/no field: Select this field if you want to exclude items or SKUs whose Suggest backorder field is selected from ever appearing on the first backorder card for an order, even if another item on the order triggers the backorder card generation.

You might use the Suppress backorder card field to flag an item such as a free gift, a promotional item, or a catalog, which should never generate a backorder card by itself.

Leave this field unselected to have these items or SKUs appear on the first backorder card if another item on the order triggers the card.

Example:

An order includes two regular (unsuppressed) items and one item whose Suppress backorder card field is selected. One of the regular items is backordered. The suppressed item appears on the first backorder card, which was triggered by the unsuppressed item. Subsequently, the expected ship date for the regular backordered item changes. This change triggers another backorder card for the unsuppressed item; however, the suppressed item does not appear on the card. If there are no unsuppressed backordered items on an order, the suppressed item never generates a backorder card on its own. Also, suppressed items are not eligible to be canceled through Working with Backorders Pending Cancellation (WBPC), and do not appear on the Order Cancellation List by Item or the Backorder Cancellation Register.
