Examples of Automatically Canceling Backordered Transfer Order Lines

If the automatic cancellation of backordered transfer orders setting is set, processing automatically cancels the quantity that cannot be filled on a transfer order at pick release time, when confirming pick slips, and when confirming shipments.

Example at Pick Release

If a transfer order with an order quantity of 100 is pick released and only 95 are available, then the remaining 5 are automatically canceled.

For pick release, if the automatic cancellation of backordered transfer orders setting is set, and the full quantity on the transfer order line cannot be filled, then any remaining quantities will be canceled.

Example at Pick Confirm

If a transfer order with an order quantity of 100 has the full 100 pick released, but only 95 are picked, then the 5 that aren't picked are canceled when recording the pick confirm results.

When confirming pick slips any action that creates a backorder goes through the processing to determine if any generated backorders should be canceled.

Example at Shipping

If a transfer order with an order quantity of 100 has the full 100 pick released and pick confirmed, but at shipping time only 95 are ship confirmed, then the remaining 5 are automatically canceled.

Once the picked quantities are pick confirmed and moved into the ship staging area, they can be ship confirmed. On the shipping pages, when selecting the Ship Confirm button or Ship Confirm action type, processing is initiated to determine if any generated backorders should be canceled. If the automatic cancellation of backordered transfer orders setting is set, then the backorder is always canceled when processing the Ship Confirm function.
