If I can add a quick question to this thread: It is standard Zen Cart behavior (provided set in Admin) to allow a customer to purchase more items than currently in stock. It shows on the checkout page that the items will be backordered. However, I haven't seen anywhere in Admin that the storeowner can check a list of items on backorder that they have to follow up on. Is there such a feature? If not, it seems like it would be easy to miss items that customers have paid for but you haven't shipped yet.
