Sales Orders > Reports > Backlog Report by Customer

Backlog Report by Customer

You use the Backlog Report by Customer program to generate a list of all outstanding orders for a range of selected customers.

A single line is printed for each stock item against which an order has been placed.

[Note]
  • This report does not include SCT (supply chain transfer) orders.

    The report can, however, be generated for supply chain transfer orders only.

  • The Backlog Report by Customer is generated at line level and will therefore only include line discounts (and not order discounts) in the values.

      In addition, the stock control level must be set to Revision or Release (Bill of Materials Setup - Engineering Change Control tab).

    Select All to print the value of sales orders regardless of the currency in which they were posted.

    Alternatively, select Single to only print the value of sales orders posted in a specific currency.

Output Options

These options enable you to apply a theme to the report and to define multiple output destinations for the report once it has been compiled (SRS Output Options).

Report Details

If you selected the setup option: Reduce S/O value by tax amount when tax is inclusive (Sales Order Setup - Tax/Um Tab) and the tax code used on the sales order was inclusive, then the values are printed exclusive of tax.

The status of each order is listed in the Stat column as follows:

  • Hd/Bo - Status 2 - Open backorder
  • Rel/Bo - Status 3 - Released backorder
  • Rlsed - Status 8 - Released for invoicing
  • Shipd - Status 4 - In warehouse - delivery note printed
  • Book - Status 1 - Open order
  • Cr/Sp - Status S - Suspense
  • Fwd - Status F - Forward order

If the status 'Sched' is listed against an order line, then this indicates that the line is scheduled, but not yet allocated. This overrides the order status for the order.

This report does not include SCT (supply chain transfer) orders. The report can, however, be generated for supply chain transfer orders only.

This report is generated at line level and will therefore only include line discounts (and not order discounts) in the values.
