What is the purpose of the Back-to-Back Order Fulfillment process in Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM?

The Back-to-Back Order Fulfillment process (D) links customer orders directly to supplier purchase

orders, enabling direct fulfillment without relying solely on existing inventory. For example, a

customer orders 50 custom widgets; the system generates a PO to the supplier, who ships directly or

via the warehouse, reducing stock holding. Option A is incorrect—it favors supplier sourcing when

stock is unavailable. Option B is false—it accelerates, not delays, fulfillment. Option C is wrong—

supplier collaboration is essential. This process cuts inventory costs, speeds delivery, and supports

make-to-order models efficiently.
