Orchestrate Internal Material Transfers

Supply Chain Orchestration can manage an internal material transfer that happens within a single organization or between two different organizations.

Here's how it works.

1. Orchestration receives and processes a supply request.

2. Orchestration creates a supply order.

3. A fulfillment task sends a request to Inventory to create a transfer order.

4. Business rules determine how to process the request.

   A document execution rule determines whether to use a purchase order or transfer order for the request depending on the condition.

   Condition	Supply Type	Execution Document
   A buy and sell relationship exists between the source organization and the destination organization	Buy	Purchase order
   The source organization and the destination organization are separate legal entities	Buy	Purchase order
   All other conditions	Transfer	Transfer order

5. Orchestration creates a purchase order or transfer order.

6. Fulfillment ships inventory to the destination organization.

7. The Supply Orchestration work area displays details for the purchase order or transfer order.

If a fulfillment update cancels the order, then Orchestration also manages the change that happens as a result of the cancel. Examples of change include rescheduling the order, changing the shipping method, changing the requested date, and so on.
