Which three applications originate a buy request that is received by supply chain orchestration?

Question

Options

• APurchasing
• BInventory
• COrder Management
• DPlanning
• ESelf Service Procurement
• FAccounts Payable

Explanation

In Oracle Fusion Supply Chain Orchestration, buy requests are originated by Order Management (C), Planning (D), and Inventory (B). Order Management sends a buy request when a sales order requires external fulfillment; Planning generates buy requests from planned purchase orders during the supply planning process; and Inventory initiates buy requests to replenish stock when quantities fall below defined levels. Supply Chain Orchestration acts as the hub that receives these requests and routes them to Purchasing to create actual purchase orders.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Purchasing): Purchasing is the receiver of the orchestrated buy request - it creates POs in response, not the source.
• E (Self Service Procurement): Creates requisitions directly in procurement but does not route through Supply Chain Orchestration as a buy request originator.
• F (Accounts Payable): Operates downstream after goods receipt and invoice matching - entirely outside the buy request origination flow.

Memory tip: Think of the three sources as covering the full demand spectrum - customer demand (Order Management), planned demand (Planning), and stock demand (Inventory). Purchasing and AP are after the buy request, not before it.
