So why do you want to force a shipment if you don't have the product? you get a back order notice that is in the communications.
in our solution, you have a back order tracking system. part of it is to notify when a particular order is complete and ready for Shipment. then when you go to the shipment page, you can ship normally. No need for force shipment. Vikas Mayur sent the following on 6/24/2009 3:10 AM: > Hi, > > I placed an order for 10 items, of product WG-5569. All the items were > back ordered.
