Guidelines for Setting Up Rules That Create Supply

Create a rule that determines the type of supply to transfer between inventory organizations. Specify the business process and document type to use between organizations.

• Supply Chain Orchestration uses a transfer order between inventory organizations to create supply, by default. Your legal or business requirements might need a buy transaction. Set up a rule that creates a purchase order instead of a transfer order.

• Set up the rule at design time. Supply Chain Orchestration applies the rule at run time when it creates supply.

• Rules run automatically. Improve accuracy and timeliness, and reduce cost because you don't need to do it manually.

• Reduce the cost of transferring material between departments in your company.

• Extend your set up to accommodate change in your business environment, such as business growth, reorganization, merge, or acquisition.

Note.

• Supply Chain Orchestration doesn't come predefined with rules that create supply. If you must create supply that doesn't use a transfer order, then you must set up your own rule.

• Use your rule only to create purchase orders for transactions between one source inventory and one destination inventory, or between one source warehouse and one destination warehouse.
