Back orders and true stock levels

[MMR]

We allow back orders on our site.

This can cause a few problems as in if there are only 2 of a particular line item in stock and the customer order 3.
Is there a way the site can inform the client there are only 2 in stock and the the 3rd is on back order?

Regards

There are threads on the forums explaining how to put the stock in hand value next to the product. That may help.
