Article • 4/27/2026 • 3 min read

There are three distinct reports in this selection:

Order Backlog

Order Backlog in Price and Units. The report shows units and dollars in time buckets of days, weeks, or months. The report always displays 12 buckets or columns. For more information on Order Backlog, see Backlog by Days, Weeks, Months.

Back Order

This report shows open sales order items which have a quantity shipped less than the quantity ordered. The date range available for selection is the Sales Order Release due date. For more information on Back Order, see Check for Items on Back Order.

Backlog vs. Quotation Analysis

This report gets the backlog by looking for open sales orders with items that have an order quantity greater than the shipped quantity. It then reviews open quotes and gets similar information.

The purpose of this report is to:

-   Let you know how many items and dollars are booked for each of the next 12 days, or weeks, or months.

-   Show which items have not been completely shipped on open orders.

-   Assist in analysis of sales trends.
