Consider the following use-case: a pharmacy does not have any stock for a particular item, say, cationom.
The pharmacy would like to open an order but since they are unable to add "0" as QUANTITY into the inventory and the order system seems to fail if the item in the order does not exist in the list, there is no way for the pharmacy to track items that are on backorder.
This would also apply to the case where the pharmacy utilizes all its available stock of an item and then wishes to place that item on order.
