Is there simple way to print the backordered quantity of items remaining on a sales order on a packing slip?

the fulfillment has access to `salesorder`, from which you can use `quantityfulfilled` to calculate the backordered quantity.
The trick is match the fulfillment line's `orderline` to the sales order's `line`

Backorder quantity on packing slip (fulfillment).xml

here's how I do it.
note that I'm assuming here that the fulfillment is already status "shipped". This is part of our business process, you may need to account for this.

there's a "gotcha" with comparing the IF's `orderline` and the "salesorder" `line`.
Fulfillments and Invoices originating from Sales Orders will have their `orderline` match the SO's `line`.
However if you're using Transfer Orders, the resulting Fulfillment and Receipt will have a 1-2-3, 4-5-6 pattern. See table/screenshot

Go to accounting preferences there’s one called “show additional items on packing slip” 

You can have it show all item on the order 

well, that'll make the template a bit cleaner, thanks
