Back to Back Order

1. Customer orders items (OM).

 

2. Purchase those items from the supplier (PO) and receive them into the warehouse.

 

3. Ship those items to the customer (OM).
 
 

 

The Item attributes to be set are

• Assemble to Order’ flag (ATO) and ‘Customer Orderable’ flag
• ‘Purchasable’ flag, enter a value in the ‘List Price’ field.
• ‘Build in WIP’ flag is checked.
• ‘Make or Buy flag’ to ‘Buy’.

1. When you create the Sales Order and Book it, the line status will be Supply_Eligible.
2. When you progress the line the status will change to PO_REQ_REQUESTED
3. Run the Requisition Import program [ Import Source CTO ]
4. Get the Requisition # from the Output of the Import program
5. Go to the Requisition Summary form and AutoCreate the PO
6. Receive the PO and Verify the Receive and Deliver Transactions
7. The Line Status will now change to "AWAITING_SHIPPING".
8. Pick Release and Ship the Order to the Customer

You can create a ASL ( Blanket PO ) and Sourincg Rule For the Item  to Automate the PO Release .

You can use Sales order Purchase order discrepancy report to identify discrepancies between the OM and the PO

In B2B the source will be internal but the item would be procured after the order is created or after the demand is made.

In Drop Ship the source will be external

In Drop Ship orders, material is directly shipped to the customer from the supplier. Thus, inventory is not affected. In this case, only logical receiving is done. But in the case of Back-to-Back orders, material is taken from inventory.

Drop Ship orders may have many Purchase Orders connected to them. In Back-to-Back orders one PO is tied to one Sales Order ???
