Backorder Processing (SD-SLS)
Using backorder processing, the sales documents relevant for requirements can be listed for particular materials and confirm them manually. You can assign available-to-promise (ATP) stock to outstanding order quantities. In addition, you can withdraw already confirmed quantities and reassign them to different items.
Backorder processing is only available for materials with individual requirements. Summarized requirements are usually used for materials sold in bulk quantities. Backorders for bulk products are not, as a rule, processed manually.

Document Flow with Outgoing Shipment
The shipment function can be used to combine deliveries with the same transportation requirements, such as forwarding agent, destination, route or means of transport. Normally, a shipment is created before you post goods issue. The settlement of shipment costs from the shipment is also optional.
Creating Shipment Documents
The SAP system uses the “Create shipment” function to determine the deliveries due for transportation and creates the shipments required.
The individual deliveries can be assigned to the shipments manually. The sequence of the deliveries within a shipment is determined automatically from the sequence in which they are listed.

How to Release Sales Order – The Status Profile
There is no such release strategy for sales orders like in purchase orders. But you have a alternative way of handling same. That functionality is called “Status Profiles”
Status Profile consists of several individual statuses, which can be changed in specific order, each status can be linked to a particular authorization group, and also it can influence corresponding business transaction. With this functionality we can restrict access to the document if it is in specific Status.
The most common functionality we use to block creating deliveries or billing documents is the delivery block / billing block in the sales order line item level. The main disadvantage of this is, all users who has VA02 access can remove this block at any stage.
