While working with the Purchase Order Header v2 data entity for importing and exporting POs, we discovered that POs with a Purchase Order status of /Open Order/ in D365 are exported with a status of /Backorder/. I'm not finding anything about the /Backorder/ status in the online documentation. Why does this inconsistency exist? This seems confusing since backorder has a specific meaning that does not apply to all open purchase orders. Backorder should identify items where the vendor is out of stock and I may have to find another supplier.
