This window appears only if you've indicated in the Ship column of an item invoice that you want to sell more of an inventory item than you currently have in stock. For example, if you enter 1,000 in the Ship column but only have 500 of the item on hand, this window will appear when you click the Record button in the Sales window.

To use the Backorder List window, you must have selected I Sell and I Inventory This Item when you created the item using the Profile view of the Item Information window.

The list in this window contains only the items for which you've entered a quantity in the Ship column of an item invoice that's greater than your on-hand quantities; non-inventoried items and inventoried items for which you have enough on-hand quantities are not listed.
