Hi, my customer wants to be able to create a 'customer' order in pos and
allow some items to be taken now and the others to be put on back order. The
only transaction tye that allows this is back order but i can only get to
that state if i sell an item which would take the stock below zero. Any idea
how i can force the transaction into a 'back order' state - custom pos button
?

Thanks in advance

You have two options with Pros and Cons for both.
First you could create the customer order as a WorkOrder add all the items
then Override the Deposit amount to $0. Then recall the transaction, do a
partial pick up of the items the customer wants to take.

Or

Create a CustomPOSButton with these settings:
Number: x (whatever is available)
Style: Internal Command
Caption: (whatever they want)
Command: CreateBackOrder
Description: (whatever they want)
Image: (whatever they want)
Add the customer and the items then press the BackOrder button. You now can
update the RTD column for the items they want to pick up. The only thing with
a backorder is that they can only have a 0% or a 100% deposit.
