We sometimes sell a product (with full disclosure) that will not be ready to ship for 2-3 weeks from the date of the sale.

I can see the setting to set the date of availability as a future date. I can see the setting to make the item unavailable (out of stock) and I can see where you can set the quantity.

What I can't seem to discover is how to offer the item for sale, but easily filter orders that have items which are not yet available.

Is there something for this situation? Thanks all.
