Back Order

In logistics, a back order refers to a situation where a customer places an order for a product or goods, but the requested items are temporarily out of stock or unavailable at the time of ordering.

A backorder refers to an order placed for an item that is presently unavailable in stock. When a product is out of stock but can still be purchased by customers, it is considered to be on backorder. Customers who purchase backordered products will experience a delay in receiving the item, as they will have to wait until it becomes available again.
