Oracle R12 Order Management - Back to Back (B2B) Order Flow

Oracle R12 Order Management - Back to Back (B2B) Order Flow:

Back to Back Order type is used in the below scenarios:

1. If the Customer ordered part is not in stock
2. If the Customer ordered part is not manufactured 
3. Customer will place the order to the organization, organization will generate the purchase order to the supplier and the supplier will ship the parts to the organization and organization ships the part to the customer.
4. Here in Back to Back order Sales order is linked to the purchase order

The below attributes should be defined in Item Master for the items as B2B Orderable:

• In Purchasing Tab - Purchased, Purchasable, Use Approved Supplier, Default Buyer & List Price to be defined
• In General Planning Tab - To be defined as "Buy"
• In Work In Process Tab - "Build in WIP" attribute flag to be enabled
• In Order Management Tab - Customer Ordered, Customer Orders Enabled, Shippable, OE Transactable & Assemble to Order flag to be enabled
