Supply Chain
Can anybody with SAP and Supply Chain knowledge tell me what exactly this term means in business? As far as I know there is no established translation for this particular term (or for most other terms such as this one) in my language pair.
The ones I've found say something along lines of "procure/supply based on order/in relation to order". I'm not sure if that's the correct translation in the SAP/Supply Chain context.
Does this term simply imply/mean the processes implemented/happen "from sourcing/supplying to ordering"?
Thanks

Note from asker:
| Thank you for your reply. But, I kind of need a more "compact" definition rather than a "sentence"-like definition you suggested. The term is used in the following sentence: "implementation of Source-to-Order functionality in Coupa." So you can perhaps appreciate why I need a more "compact"/"short" definition in this particular case irrespective of the correct and academic definition. |

responses to specific demands
A reference on source-to-order states:
"The intention is to order materials for explicit demand which is not aggregated" or combined.
Another reference on supply chain management states:
"In commerce, supply chain management (SCM) is the management of the flow of goods and services between businesses and locations, and includes the movement and storage of raw materials of work in process inventory, finished goods as well as end to end order fulfillment from point of origin to point of consumption, interconnected, interrelated networks, channels and businesses combined in the provision of products and services requested by end customers in a supply chain."

The intention of Source-to-Order is to order materials for explicit -identifiable- downstream demand: Demand is not aggregated. A specific reference or customer order detail is exchanged with the supplying party, attached to or marked on the product, recorded in the warehousing or Enterprise Resource Planning System in order to track individual deliveries.
Source-to-Order is a MTO process.
Use Cases
Purchasing to order
JIT/JIS
In a factory: Configurable parts ordering
In a Retail store: Special Orders
Examples of alternative or related names for Source-to-Order are: Source-Make-to-Order, Purchase-to-Order.
