DEFINITION of 'Backorder'. An order for a good or service that cannot be filled at the current time due to a lack of available supply. The higher the number of items backordered, the higher the demand for the item. BREAKING DOWN 'Backorder'. Backorders are an important factor in inventory management analysis.
Backordered: This means that the company would normally have that item but it is not in stock (they don't have it on the shelf so they can't send it to you) but they have organized that the manufactorer will deliver certain amounts of that item to them on a regular basis, so when the next shipment arrives then the company will fill your order and send it to you.
