The back-to-back fulfillment process is one in which specific sales order demand triggers supply creation, and a firm link is established between the sales order and the supply. This process involves creating supply only after a sales order is placed, ensuring that the supply is directly associated with the sales order. This helps in reducing excess inventory while meeting the demand precisely.
Solution is correct: D. Back-to-back 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: Back-to-back flow is currently supported only for discrete manufacturing.
