While it is not always the case, some distributors do process releases even though the full quantity is not immediately available. This can be done for any number of reasons. When this is the case, a distributor will want to keep tabs on current backorders both for customer relations and reorder needs. Notice the ability to Calculate Quantities Due In. This allows the user to see not only the existing backorders but also take into account product that is on order and due in to see if there will still be a deficiency once the new inventory has been received.
