About the Inventory On Order Form

Information regarding inventory purchases is typically entered by the purchasing department through the Inventory On Order records. Service representatives can access this information at the time of order to give useful feedback to customers in the event of a back order situation.

The Inventory On Order record is accessible from the Inventory > On Order tab of the Products record. The number of units currently on order (that is, orders not yet received and not cancelled) appear in the Inventory tab's Quantity On Order field.

The Date Ordered field is the date the inventory order for the product is placed. The default value is the current date.
