Back Order


Source: Procurement Glossary Author: Paul Rogers Institute: CIPS - UK	Courtesy of

In supply chain terms when a customer order cannot be immediately fulfilled from stock, the customer requirement may be placed on ‘back order’. This implies that a replenishment order will be raised on the next tier of the supply chain and, when sufficient materials are available, the outstanding ordered amount will be forwarded to the original customer.
