• This order type applies when customer orders a product which you do not stock or manufacture.
  • In turn customer places the order, you place the order with supplier and after the shipment from the supplier, and you distribute the product to the customer.
  • Below is the flow chart for B2B process flow:


STEP 1: Item Creation for Back 2 Back orders
  • Item: Prism
  • Copy the Purchasing template.
  • Purchasing Tab: List Price : $15, Used Approved Supplier © enable
  • General Planning Tab: Source Type : Supplier, Make or Buy : Buy
  • Order Management Tab: Assemble to Order © enable.
  • Assign to our inventory.



STEP 2: CREATE APPROVED SUPPLIER LIST
Invoking:  Order Management ?Purchasing? Supply Base? Approved Supplier List
  • Lets create an Approved supplier List for the item we created (Prism).


STEP 3: Create Sourcing Rule

Invoking:  Order Management ?Purchasing? Supply Base? Sourcing Rule
  • We are going to create Sourcing Rule as: Prism_Sourcing.




Step 4: Assign Sourcing Rule

  • Query the  ”Supplier Scheduling Assignment”  set by using F11 key & paste our item, Sourcing rule as below.


STEP 5: BOOK SALES ORDER

  • Now book the sales order and the status of the line will be Supply Eligible.


  • Select the Supply Eligible text ?Right Click?Progress Order?OK


  • Now the status will be changed to External Req Requested as below.


  • Now run the Workflow Background Process from View? Request


STEP 6: Requisition Import
  • Switch the responsibility to Purchasing and Run Requisition Import from  View? Request
  • Select Import Source as CTO.



  • Here Requisition Import and Create Releases Program runs and view the output, so that we can make sure that the releases has been processed successfully as below.


STEP 7: QUERY REQUISITION

Invoking: Purchasing?Requsitions? Requisitions Summary
  • Now query by the item: Prism (we created) and create the REQ as below.




  • Now if you check the sales order line status it will be External Req Open.




STEP8: AUTOCREATE PURCHASE ORDER
Invoking: Purchasing?Purchase Order? Purchase Order Summary
  • Now let’s create a purchase order with the req # we created.




  • Now if you check the status of the sales order after creating PO, it will be PO Open.




STEP 9: Taking Receipt

Invoking: Purchasing? Receiving ? Receipts





  • Corresponding order # created:
Sales Order
10007
Requisition
15950
PO
6605
Receipt
23707


  • Here we took the receipt for the PO created and moved to the Sub Inventory FGI and status will be changed to Awaiting Shipment as above.

STEP 10: PICK Release/ Ship Confirm

  • From here we can do normal Pick up release transaction in order to ship the order from inventory to Customer.
Invoking: Order Management? Shipping? Release Sales Order


Invoking: Order Management? Shipping? Transactions



  • Running Workflow background Process.


  • Final status of order closed, which means the order has been shipped to the customer.



  • This completes the Back 2 Back order flow.

DROP SHIP Order Flow



  • Drop Ship is mere similar to Back 2 Back order except the supplier directly ships the order to customer rather than our inventory.
  • Below is the flow chart for your reference.
All steps are similar except two changes:
  • Source type as External in sales order line
  • Import source as ORDER ENTRY while executing Requisition Import


STEP 1: SALES ORDER CREATION

  • Let’s start with placing a new sales order.


  • Follow similar steps as Back 2 Back orders.



Progressing Supply Eligible


  • Running Workflow Background process.


  • Now the status of the sales order line will be Awaiting Receipt.


STEP 2: Requisition Import
  • As discussed before, mention Import Source as ORDER ENTRY as below.


  • From here we follow P2P cycle.
Querying REQ, PO, taking Receipt as below.





  • Corresponding # created:
Sales Order
10008
Requisition
15951
PO
6606
Receipt
23708


  • Now if you check the status of the sales order line it will be shipped.





  • Run the workflow background process.



  • The status will be closed which means the order has directly been shipped to customer rather than transferred to our inventory.
