Say we have a sales order for 1,000, and SD-M Ready to ship? flag is set to Y.  We have 800 in stock.  This will create a ship qty of 800 and a backorder of 200.  We place a PO for 200 and receive into inventory.  
 
Thus we have two shipments of 800 and 200 against SO.  How do I create the 2 shipments and 2 invoices for the 800 and 200 (assume there is a fair time lag between the two shipments).  
 
I thought I did this OK about 2 years ago, so maybe I have forgotten (very likely!) or program has changed.  Would appreciate any help on best way to do this.  
 
If I set the SD-M Ready to ship? flag to N and use SO-E Release Sales Orders, this does not create a backorder, despite help notes saying it will.  Anyone else noticed any problems with SO-E and backorders?  
 
Thank you

Lynn,
 
Thanks very much for your help, I have it now.

We just added a new feature to address that very issue in this last Post.  There is a new Button in SO-A and SO-H called View Invoices. It will list and display past invoices for a given SO#.
 

thanks

It is a button on the lower right corner in SO-A and SO-T but only when editing an order that has prior invoices against it.

OK, I should have said editing or viewing an order with prior invoices.  In any event, if there are no invoices yet against an order, there will be no button.
 
We also changed the logic regarding looking at a closed SD-Q defaults, you can look at a closed order in SO-A or SO-T without reopening it.

You have to set the SD-Q default if you want the program to stop asking you about reopening it.  From the Help:
 
Reopen Closed SO in SO-A (Y/N/P/V)
 
If this is blank or Y, the program reopens a closed Sales Order to view it.  If it is N then closed Sales Orders can not be viewed, if it is V they can be viewed but not reopened and if it is P then the password specified is required to reopen them.
