Explanation

When supply chain orchestration receives a make request - meaning the supply is to be fulfilled through internal manufacturing - it creates a Work Order (B), which is the standard execution document that drives the production process on the shop floor.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. Transfer Order - generated for transfer requests, when supply is fulfilled by moving inventory between organizations or locations, not by making it.
• C. Routing Create - not a recognized execution document generated by supply chain orchestration; routings are manufacturing templates, not output documents.
• D. Movement Request - used for warehouse/inventory movements within a facility, not for triggering production.
• E. Purchase Order - generated for buy requests, when supply is fulfilled by procuring from an external supplier.

Memory tip: Match the request type to the execution document using the supply source verb: Make → Work Order, Buy → Purchase Order, Transfer → Transfer Order. The orchestration engine simply routes each request to its corresponding execution system.
