System and method for processing delayed sales orders

A computer-readable storage device encoded with instructions that when executed cause a processor to:

• select from a plurality of stored sales orders, a first subset of the sales orders having a previously scheduled delivery date delayed by more than a predetermined time period;
• associate with each sales order of the first subset a reason for the delivery date delay;
• select from the first subset of the sales orders, a second subset of the sales orders associated with a given representative;
• display the second subset of the sales orders for viewing by the given representative.
