In the back-to-back fulfillment process, which of the following is a valid setup?

In a back-to-back fulfillment process, the item is not fulfilled from existing on-hand inventory. Instead, a sales order triggers the creation of a specific supply order (like a purchase order or work order). Global Order Promising (GOP) schedules the fulfillment to occur from an internal warehouse. Supply Chain Orchestration then creates the necessary supply document to bring the goods into that designated internal warehouse, where they are reserved for and subsequently shipped against the original sales order. Therefore, the item must be enabled for back-to-back, and the scheduling source must be an internal warehouse.

A. Scheduling Result = Supplier, Back-to-Back Enabled = Yes: This is incorrect. When the scheduling result is a supplier, it signifies a drop ship process where the supplier ships directly to the customer, bypassing the internal warehouse.

C. Scheduling Result = Supplier: This describes a drop ship fulfillment model, not a back-to-back one. It is also an incomplete setup description.

D. Scheduling Result = Internal Warehouse, Back-to-Back Enabled = No: This describes a standard fulfillment process where an order is fulfilled from existing on-hand inventory in a warehouse, not a back-to-back flow.

Chapter: Fulfill Orders

Section: Overview of Back-to-Back Fulfillment. This section states

"Order Promising schedules supply for the sales order from your warehouse

then sends a supply recommendation to Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration. Supply Chain Orchestration creates the supply document

such as a purchase order

transfer order

or work order." This confirms the scheduling result is an internal warehouse.

Chapter: Manage Order Promising

Section: How Back-to-Back Fulfillment Works. This document details the process: "Global Order Promising promises the sales order and determines that the item is available in a warehouse... It sends a recommendation to Supply Chain Orchestration to create a supply order." This reinforces that the scheduling points to a warehouse.

Chapter: Order Promising Options

Section: How Order Promising Fulfills Drop Shipments. This document clarifies the alternative: "Order Promising schedules the sales order and determines that your supplier can ship the item directly to your customer." This explicitly differentiates the "Scheduling Result = Supplier" scenario as drop shipment.
