In the Products module, select the appropriate product.
Follow the process to Create a New SKU. Fill in and save all fields in the SKU Setup section on the Overview tab.
Open the Client Sales Setup tab.
Click Edit to unlock the fields.
Under Allow Back Orders, open the drop-down menu and select Yes.
Note: This is an essential step. As starting materials are not packaged, the available inventory for these products is not determined through Packaging Runs. Allowing back orders ensures there is always an infinite amount of the SKU available.
