What's a back-to-back transfer order?

An internal material transfer order to transfer supply from the source location to the destination location to fulfill a back-to-back sales order.

The back-to-back transfer order is automatically reserved against the associated back-to-back sales order by Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration. When the transfer order is received and put away at the destination location, the supply-side of the reservation is automatically moved from the transfer order to the new on-hand inventory. This action maintains the reservation of the supply against the back-to-back sales order until shipping.
