Back-to-Back Supply Creation Flows
You can set up Oracle Fusion Cloud applications that support back-to-back fulfillment to trigger supply creations flows (buy, make, transfer, and on hand) after a sales order is entered and scheduled.
Each variant of the back-to-back flow differs in the supply document that's created and the supply execution application in which the document is created. Depending on the source of the item, supply is provided from manufacturing, procurement, or inventory. Then, after the supply is received into the fulfillment warehouse, the back-to-back order is ready for shipment to your customer.
The following table describes the supply creation flows and associated supply document supported for each flow when using back-to-back fulfillment.
Back-to-Back Supply Creation Buy Flow
The supply document for a back-to-back buy flow is a purchase order. Based on supply recommendations from Oracle Global Order Promising, a purchase order is created and reserved against the sales order.
When the purchase order is received by the supplier, on hand is created to ship out the back-to-back sales order.
The following figure shows the back-to-back supply creation buy flow.
