Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Back orders are orders that cannot be fulfilled immediately due to lack of inventory or overloaded production schedules. Customers can agree to wait until the supply catches up with demand, and then the orders can be fulfilled. Work-in-process, finished goods, and raw materials are not relevant in this scenario.
