Magento 2.3 admin, set up an order that generates an order & backorder w/ partial quantity

[cartoonjaz3206]

In Magento 2.3 admin panel, can I set up an order that generates an order based on partial quantity & backorder on the amount not in-stock for the same item?

It should include an item that can be partially fulfilled. i.e. the order is for 5 pcs and there is just 4 in-stock

it should

1-generate an order for 4

and

2-generate a wish list or backorder for 1. This should be convertible to another order when the stock is received.

In Magento 2.3 admin, you can create an order that generates both a regular order and a backorder with partial quantity by following these steps:

1. Enable Backorders: Before creating an order with backordered items, ensure that backorders are allowed in your Magento configuration. You can enable this by going to the admin panel:

   • Navigate to Stores > Configuration > Catalog > Inventory.
   • Under the "Product Stock Options" section, set "Backorders" to "Allow Qty Below 0."

2. Create the Order: To create a new order in Magento 2.3 admin, follow these steps:

   • Navigate to Sales > Orders and click on the "Create New Order" button.
   • Select the customer for whom you want to create the order, or create a new customer profile.
   • Add products to the order by clicking on the "Add Products" button and selecting the desired items.

3. Adjust Product Quantities: In the order creation screen, you can adjust the quantity of each product you are adding to the order. To generate a backorder with a partial quantity:

   • In the "Qty" field for a product, enter a value less than the available stock quantity. This will create a backorder for the remaining quantity.
   • Magento will automatically calculate the backordered quantity and show it as a separate line item in the order.

4. Proceed with Checkout: After setting the quantities, proceed with the checkout process as usual, providing the necessary billing and shipping information.

5. Complete the Order: Once the order is placed, you will have both a regular order and a backorder with a partial quantity in the Magento system.

Please note that the specific steps and options might vary slightly based on your Magento installation and customizations. Always make sure to review the latest Magento documentation or consult with your Magento administrator if you encounter any difficulties or inconsistencies.
