Sales > Recording sales with insufficient on-hand item quantities > Build, buy, or backorder items
When you attempt to record a sales invoice with an insufficient on-hand quantity, the Backorder List window appears. In this window, you need to build or buy the required quantity, or create a customer sales order (backorder) for the unavailable quantity, before you can record the sale.
Before you can auto-build an item in the Backorder List window, you need to set up your item details. For more information, see Auto-building items.
If you want to record a bill using this window, you need to enter a default vendor for the item. For more information, see Creating items.
