Converting Backorders to Invoices

When you create an invoice or picking slip in Micronet, you have the option to save the entire order as a backorder if all the items are out of stock, or to save only the out of stock items as a backorder. Micronet also automatically saves out of stock items as backorders during order processing.

Use the following procedures to recall those backorders and convert them to invoices.
