   Notes

   • Your flow will schedule the sales order then create a supply request for it. It establishes a firm relationship between the demand document, which is the sales order, and the supply document, which is the purchase order, transfer order, or work order.
   • Oracle applications look at this setting to determine how to process the item. For example, Order Management and Supply Chain Orchestration look at it to determine whether to assign an orchestration process that Oracle has set up specifically to do back-to-back fulfillment. Global Order Promising uses it to determine when to send a supply request to Supply Chain Orchestration.
4. You might need to do some set ups in an Oracle application, depending on your business requirements. For more information, see Setting Up Back-to-Back Fulfillment: Roadmap.
