Purchase Orders: Client Backorders and Products to Reorder

Create purchase orders for specific client orders and products that reached their minimum stock level

Managing stock replenishment just got much easier in Orderry. We’ve added two new sections to Inventory > Purchase Orders that help you automatically identify which products need to be purchased — whether for client orders or to restore stock levels.

Client Backorders

This new table is generated automatically based on non-deducted products added to client orders in specific statuses.

A new checkbox in order status settings — “Add non-deducted products to Client backorders” — defines which statuses will contribute to this table. For status groups In progress, Pending, and Delivery, this option is enabled automatically.

In the Client Backorders table, you’ll find all products required to complete active client orders, along with:

  • Needed quantity to purchase

  • Last purchase price

  • Default supplier (now configurable in each product profile)

  • Client order number the product comes from

You can filter Client Backorders by product categories, client order statuses, and default supplier to focus only on what’s relevant to your current procurement tasks.

If you need more information, navigate to the detailed instructions on how to work with Client Backorders.

Products to Reorder

The second new table helps you stay on top of stock replenishment. It’s automatically generated based on the minimum and maximum stock levels set in each product profile — similar to the Products below minimum stock report.

For each product, you’ll see:

  • Needed quantity to purchase

  • Last purchase price

  • Default supplier

  • Warehouse where the product reached its minimum stock level

You can filter this table by product categories, warehouse, and default supplier for easier navigation and control.

Create Purchase Orders from Client Backorders and Products to Reorder Tables

From both Client Backorders and Products to Reorder, you can quickly:

  • Create new purchase orders, or

  • Add products to existing ones (in Draft status only).

If you create a new purchase order with products that share the same default supplier, it will be selected automatically. If products have different suppliers, you’ll need to specify one manually.

In the purchase order itself, products will be grouped by:

  • Client order numbers (if created from Client Backorders), or

  • Warehouses (if created from Products to Reorder).

Once selected products are added to a purchase order, they automatically disappear from these tables — keeping your lists clean and up to date. Also, if you create a purchase order from Client Backorders, it will appear in the related client orders’ event feed, so your team can instantly see that a purchase order has been created — no need to switch between sections.

Access to Client Backorders and Products to Reorder

In Settings > Employees > Roles, you’ll find two new permissions that define access to these tables:

  • Can use Client backorders

  • Can use Products to reorder

With this update, these permissions are automatically enabled for employees who already have any access to Purchase Orders.

These new sections make purchase planning more transparent and reduce the risk of missing important client backorders or running out of stock. Now you can keep your purchasing workflow more organized, efficient, and automated.

What’s Next for Purchase Orders

We’re not stopping here — more improvements to purchase processes and supplier relationship management are on the way.

Next, we plan to add:

  • Product reservation for a specific client

  • Public API for Purchase Orders

  • More detailed structure and public pages for Purchase Orders

Meanwhile, we’d love to hear your thoughts! What did you like most? What’s missing? How else can we improve Purchase Orders? Share your feedback, suggestions, or questions via the Support Chat — your input helps us make Orderry better for you.
