Explorer The Order-to-Cash (Third-Party Order Processing - Material) scenario enables your company to create sales orders that are used to
ship products with or without a product specification to your customer directly from a supplier rather than from your own company. A third-
party purchase request is created automatically when you release a sales order for a product to which purchasing contracts and/or list
Scenario/Processes prices have been assigned in the system. The third-party purchase order can be created automatically or manually. You can enter the
supplier's confirmation data in the system when they send the delivery notification. Based on this third-party delivery, supplier invoicing and
customer invoicing is triggered. You can use the Order-to-Cash (Third-Party Order Processing – Material) scenario if you always ship
Business Value directly from a supplier or if you only ship directly from a supplier in exceptional cases.
