What's the difference between a regular transfer order and a back-to-back transfer order?

A back-to-back transfer order is processed in the same manner as a regular transfer order, except for the following points:

• The transfer order supply is automatically reserved to the originating back-to-back sales order by Supply Chain Orchestration when the order is created.

• The back-to-back transfer order is monitored by Supply Chain Orchestration to ensure the original supply required to fulfill the back-to-back sales order is not at risk. As quantities and dates change on the transfer order, Supply Chain Orchestration performs exception handling to fulfill the back-to-back sales order. In addition, Supply Chain Orchestration is notified when the supply is shipped from the source organization as well as when it is put away in the destination organization.
