The scenario described is a backorder, where a company ships part of an order and completes the remaining shipment at a later date when more inventory is available. A balked shipment refers to a situation where a shipment is refused by the customer or carrier, while a rejected shipment is one that fails to meet the customer's quality standards. Picking refers to the process of selecting items from inventory to fulfill a customer order.
