Overview

The "Sales of goods through our warehouse (Purchase-to-order)" scenario describes the sale of third-party products through the organization's warehouse. You can use this scenario with the "Purchase-to-order (sales through our warehouse)" scenario. Firstly, a customer places a sales order, then the purchase order is placed for these goods to the vendor, then the goods are received to the organization's warehouse. After that, the goods must be delivered to the customer within the referenced sales order. This scenario is often used when it is not possible or desirable to deliver goods from the vendor directly to the customer. This scenario is preferable for some companies because of the higher level of control over the supply chain. The scenario is quite often adopted by manufacturers who trade their own products and try to complement their own portfolio with the vendor's products.
