How Back-to-Back Fulfillment Works
The back-to-back process flow is one in which specific sales order demand triggers supply creation and a link is established between the sales order and the supply.
An organization procures goods from an internal or external supplier or source to a specific warehouse from where you can combine those goods with others to create a single shipment to the customer.
Back-to-back supply processes are similar to regular supply processes that deliver supply to a warehouse except for one difference; the back-to-back supply is always reserved to an order management fulfillment line.
At a high level, you can think of back-to-back fulfillment as a three-step process:
1.Creation of a customer sales order (source of demand).
2.Creation and fulfillment of supply document (source of supply) to the fulfillment warehouse.
3.Shipment of sales order from the fulfillment warehouse to the customer.
However, the back-to-back flow is truly a highly integrated process flow involving several Oracle Fusion Cloud applications. The following figure shows the back-to-back process flow in detail. An explanation for each number follows the figure.

Overview of Back-to-Back Fulfillment
The back-to-back fulfillment process is one in which specific sales order demand triggers supply creation, and a link is established between the sales order and the supply.
Note: Back-to-back flow is currently supported only for discrete manufacturing.
The following figure provides a high-level flow diagram showing the back-to-back supply creation and fulfillment process flow.
Back-to-back fulfillment is where supply is procured and then received at a warehouse only after an order is placed.
The supply is reserved against a sales order until shipping.
This process provides support to create and link supply after a sales order is entered and scheduled, allowing you to reduce your inventory while maintaining the ability to respond to customer demands.
You create supply for a back-to-back order using one or more of the following back-to-back flows:
•Buy: Procurement from an external supplier.
•Make: Production in an internal manufacturing facility (includes in-house manufacturing and contract manufacturing).
•Transfer: Transfer from another warehouse.
•On hand: Reservation of on-hand supply in the fulfillment organization.
Note: For information about back-to-back flows for contract manufacturing, see the Implementing Contract Manufacturing chapter in this guide.
After the supply is received into the fulfillment warehouse, the back-to-back order is ready for shipment to the customer.
Back-to-Back Supply Creation On-Hand Flow
The back-to-back on-hand available (ATP) flow is the simplest in terms of the number of steps that constitute the flow. This flow occurs where on hand supply is available in the fulfillment warehouse for the ordered back-to-back item at the time of order promising. Because on-hand goods already exist in the form of on hand, Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration directly sends a request to reserve the on hand quantity against the back-to-back sales order. You can ship the sales order immediately after the reservation is created.
The following figure shows the back-to-back supply creation on-hand flow.
While performing a physical inventory count, you find that tags have not been generated for some of the items.
What action is recommended?
An organization uses min-max planned items to generate movement requests automatically where the item's replenishment source is another subinventory. In this case, the min-max process should automatically generate a move request but it doesn't happen.
What is the reason?
What happens when you enable Delete Additional Items in the Cycle Count definition?
Item A is transacted in lots. Your customer wants to pick more than the requested quantity for Item A during pick slip confirmation.
How can this requirement be achieved?
Which scheduled process communicates changes on purchase orders whose receipt advices are already interfaced to an external system?
Your customer wants to track and approve inventory transactions between two inventory organizations handling high value goods.
What are the two types of inventory transactions recommended?
On the Manage Supply Request Exception page, your supply line is in exception due to missing data.
Which action can be performed on this supply line?
Steve, your warehouse manager, created a lot for an item by mistake. He is unable to disable this lot from the Manage Lots task.What could be the reason?
Against a Purchase Order quantity of 100, your receiving agent has received 50 items in the receiving type subinventory. Later in the day, 25 items have been put away to inventory. What is the item availability in the Manage Item Quantity UI?
Your supplier is using the Supplier Portal and sends you an Advance Shipment Notice (ASN) whenever they ship goods. You have already created a consignment agreement with this supplier with the following consignment terms:
Aging Onset Point: Shipment
• Aging Period Days:3 Consumption Advice Frequency: Daily
• Consumption Advice Summary: All Organizations
For some reason, it took five days for the goods to arrive, and you have noticed that the goods are damaged. You have now decided to send them back.
At that point, when you return the goods, who is the owner of the goods?
