List Backorders
GET/api/v2/inventory-allocations/backorders
Returns a paginated backorder queue showing allocations that are awaiting stock.
orders:readGrant this scope to your token under Settings → Developer → Personal Access Tokens.
Supports GET and POST — POST can be used to send large filter payloads in the request body.
Sort options: id, priority, quantity, created_at, updated_at, backorder_date, backordered_quantity, released_quantity, sku, product_name, supplier, order_date, sales_order_number, eta. Default: priority.
Each backorder row also carries in_transit_stock (inbound stock in motion across warehouses), alongside other_warehouse_stock. Both are populated in the CSV/XLSX export.
Each row also carries available_at_warehouse — unclaimed stock in the backorder's own warehouse, named by warehouse. A value above zero means the backorder can be released now; filter to just those rows with filter[releasable_now.is]=true. This is distinct from other_warehouse_stock, which would require the line to be re-routed first.

Forbidden — the token lacks a required scope, the endpoint is not available to API tokens, or the user behind the token lacks the permission. A human must adjust the token scopes or user permissions; do not retry.
