It would be nice to add a better back Order management in Business Central both on sales and Purchasing.
For example, a page where I would see back Orders showing sales lines (Qty sold, Shipped, Remaining, reserv., Available) for all Sales Order Lines not just a product. For example, I was supposed to receive PO 123 on Jan. 10th but the vendor changed the date to Jan 15th. What is the impact on sales on a click of a button, same for Production Orders. What's the global impact of that date change.

We are new to Business Central and are extremely surprised it doesn't include base functionality for backorders. Our business is being negatively affected by a lack of this functionality and we are in the process of having to get custom code to accomplish this.
Here's the situations...
- A customer places a sales order for several items, some parts are purchased and others are manufactured, however we don't have all the items in stock to fulfill the order.
- When purchased parts arrive, we need a flag, notification, etc., that will let someone know the items have been received and that sales order can now be fulfilled.
- When manufactured items are completed (released production order has finished quantity and order is changed to a finished production order), we need a flag, notification, etc., that will let someone know the items are now completed and that sales order can now be fulfilled.
- A released production order is short items.
- When a purchased part that is required on a released production order is received we need a flag, notification, etc., that will let someone know the item(s) have arrived and the released production order can move forward.
- When manufactured items are completed (released production order has finished quantity and order is changed to a finished production order), we need a flag, notification, etc., that will let someone know the items are now completed and that released production order can now be started or continue with production.
