backordered
Out of stock
Backordered describes an item that has been ordered but is temporarily out of stock, with delivery delayed until new inventory arrives.
Retailers use the term to indicate they've accepted your order but can't ship immediately: The laptop is backordered until next month.
The backorder itself is the pending order awaiting fulfillment.
