Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing
Additional field(s): Accounting
English term or phrase: backorder
Definition from Bridgefield Group:
A current or past due customer order (or line item) that cannot be shipped due to lack of inventory availability. Customer agreements govern how backorders are handled (ship when available, ship whole order only, cancel, etc.).

Example sentence(s):
  • Backorders can come as the result of entirely to many different factors all of which equally frustrating and detrimental to a company’s relationship with their customers and also to the company’s internal functions. Golfmkv
  • We have compared the operating regimes by observing a set of performance measures such as the average inventory levels, the average backorder size, the average backorder levels, the probability of backorder and the average number of set-ups. Ingenta Connect
  • It's still true that backorders take a serious toll on customer goodwill and bottom-line results. Multichannel Merchant

Definition from own experience or research:
Genau genommen ist "Lieferrückstand" gemeint. Oft wird aber nur Rückstand verwendet für bestellte Artikel, die der Lieferant selbst nachbestellen muss.

Example sentence(s):

  • Bestellen Sie beispielsweise ein Keyboard und ein passender Keyboardständer, so werden wir ev. eine Teillieferung vorsehen, wenn der Keyboardständer noch im Rückstand ist, - Musix online store  
  • Nachlieferungen/Rückstände Es werden keine CDs nachgeliefert bzw. in Rückstand genommen. - ulfTone Music
