How to Mass Create Shipment for Orders on Backorder Status

Hello! Is it possible to still mass process orders that were on backorder status but now have enough qty for shipments? 

Currently, ‘process order’ screen is used to mass create shipments for orders in the system. Shipping rule is to allow back order, so when items have insufficient qty, those orders go on back order status. 

The issue is when those items are restocked, and now have qty for shipments to be created, users have to go find these orders individually in the system and create shipment. It would be nice if these backorder status orders could also show up in the process order screen so users can mass process all the orders that are in backorder status but now have enough qty. 

Any thoughts? Thank you!

You should be able to create a filter for SO status of ‘Backorder’ on the Process Orders screen and then process all  - is that not working for some reason?

Hi ​@kyle90 we could do that, but the problem is that the backorder status orders are not showing up on the process order screen, even after the items have been restocked and have enough qty. Any idea why that would be?

Try going to the “inventory preferences” screen and check if this is enabled
