  Third-Party Order Fulfillment is a component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It enables companies to outsource their order fulfillment processes to third-party vendors. This component provides the necessary tools and features to manage the entire process, from order placement to delivery. It also allows companies to track and monitor the progress of their orders, as well as manage inventory levels and costs.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Third-Party Order Fulfillment, companies must first set up a vendor relationship with the third-party vendor. Once this is done, they can then create orders and assign them to the vendor. The vendor will then be responsible for fulfilling the order and delivering it to the customer. Companies can also use this component to track and monitor the progress of their orders, as well as manage inventory levels and costs.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a vendor relationship with a third-party vendor, it is important to ensure that all terms and conditions are clearly outlined in the contract. This will help ensure that both parties are aware of their responsibilities and obligations.
