Purchase Stock Picking Backorder Policy
This module integrates stock_picking_backorder_policy with purchases.
It adds a Purchase Backorder Policy on the vendor, and a Backorder Policy on the purchase order, defaulted from the vendor and adjustable per order.
When the order is confirmed, the policy is carried over to the receipt it generates.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Lets you set a backorder policy on a vendor and on each purchase order, so the receipt created from the order automatically follows that policy.
This module connects the backorder policy feature with purchasing. It adds a "Backorder Policy" field on the vendor form (in the Purchase tab) and a "Backorder Policy" field on the purchase order form (in the Other Information section).
On a purchase order, the policy is filled in automatically from the vendor's setting, but you can change it while the order is still in Draft or Sent status; once the order moves further, the field becomes read-only. Changes to the policy are tracked in the chatter.
When the order is confirmed and the receipt is created, the policy chosen on the order is copied onto the receipt, and also onto the stock moves generated from the order lines. This means the receipt inherits the same backorder behaviour that was agreed with the vendor, without having to set it again on the transfer.
The vendor's policy is a commercial field, so it is shared across the vendor's company contacts. The module installs automatically when both the backorder policy and purchase stock modules are present.

terminal Installation and usage
OCA documentation · Odoo 19.0Usage
Source · Odoo 19.0To set a vendor's backorder policy:
- Open the contact form and go to the Sales & Purchase tab.
- Set a Purchase Backorder Policy (Ask, Always or Never). It is shared with the contact's other addresses.
On a purchase order, the Backorder Policy is set by default from the vendor and can be adjusted manually before confirmation.
When the order is confirmed, the policy is carried over to the receipt it generates. On validation of a partial receipt:
- Ask: the usual backorder prompt is shown.
- Always: a backorder is created automatically for the missing quantity.
- Never: the missing quantity is cancelled.
Returns are not subject to the policy: they always follow the operation type's own Create Backorder setting.
