Whenever the receiving node is marked as "OFF" in OrderHub, the system should prevent order creation.​ In case the order is created and the receiving node is inactive, automatically move order to a "Backordered" status during scheduling, regardless of the AssumeInfiniteInventory flag or actual inventory maintenance in OMS.​

IBM Sterling OMS currently supports backordering only when the Ship Node is marked as dirty and the AssumeInfiniteInventory flag is either set to 'N' or null.​ In this setup, if the inventory is not maintained and AssumeInfiniteInventory = Y, the ...
