Narrative:
After takeoff; the flaps were retracted. Master caution light came on follow up by flap disagree. Went to the configuration page and saw the outboard flaps were still at 10; inboards were indicating up. We [advised ATC]. Got delayed vectors to work the problem and run the QRH. Put the flaps back to 10 and ran the QRH. The captain contacted operations to consult with them so we had all are bases covered. We briefed the approach and had the trucks standing by at the 7000 ft mark just in case we had a tire fail or hot brakes as a precaution. Captain runs a very professional cockpit and it turned out to be a nonevent. I do not believe this could have been prevented by human intervention. It's part of the inherent risk of flying aircraft.
