Order backlog
Order backlog is the total of all open sales order line items that have already been entered in the system but have not yet been fully delivered or invoiced. It shows which quantities and revenue are still outstanding and therefore provides an important basis for sales control, capacity planning, and delivery monitoring. In SAP Business One, the order backlog can be derived from open sales document data and linked with information from the document flow to review the processing status of individual transactions in a traceable way. This helps companies identify at an early stage which orders still need to be fulfilled and where delivery or processing bottlenecks may arise, so that open sales orders can be prioritised and completed on time.
