Back Orders

How do I handle back orders?

Goldenseal accounting software version 2.7 adds a back order column to itemized sales breakdowns, so you can track items that are back ordered.

To enter a sale for an item that is back ordered, follow these steps:

1. Choose Sales from the Income menu.
2. Click the New button.
3. Click on the breakdown popup field on the left side of the window and enter Items.
4. Type in details for the first item you are selling.
5. If the item is back ordered, enter a quantity into the Back Order column.

When you are able to deliver an item that was formerly on back order, follow these steps:

1. Choose Sales from the Income menu.
2. Use the browser control at upper left to locate the back ordered sale.
3. Click in the Back Order column and remove the back order amount.

To locate sales that still have items on back order, follow these steps:

1. Choose Sales from the Income menu.
2. Use the browser control at upper left to locate a sales transaction that has an Items breakdown.
3. Choose Find from the Edit menu.
4. Click in the Back Order column of the table, and type in >0.
5. Click the Find button.
6. Goldenseal will locate all sales that are still on back order.

We plan to add further enhancements to back order tracking. Please contact us with your requests for additional features.
