Hi Stuart,
In the case of sales orders, it will only attempt to create or update backorders if the PhysicalItem property of the sales order line is true - that is a denormalised property from the inventory item - so it *should* work if you set the value to true after the sales order line is added - when the order is saved it will create or update the backorder record.
I can see explicit code there referencing bug report numbers for not creating or adjusting backorders if the PhysicalItem flag is false - so there is probably a good reason for us preventing backorders for non physical items.
It'll be a case of try it and see if works for all your use cases.
