Creating a Transfer Requirement Manually

Creating a Transfer Requirement Manually

For some goods movements, such as internal movements, you can manually create transfer requirements within WM. For example, you can manually create a transfer requirement when you need to:

Issue a material assigned to a cost center

Supply materials to production supply areas manually for pick parts

Replenish fixed storage bins in WM

A work center in the production department needs a quantity of an overhead costs material. In this case, the user manually creates a transfer requirement in WM. Subsequently, the quantity of the required material is moved from the warehouse to the goods issue interim storage area, also known as the distribution area. The physical movement is carried out with a transfer order, which is created by the system using information contained in the transfer requirement.

How to Create a Transfer Requirement Manually

Choose TransRqmt ® Create ® Without reference from the WM menu bar.

Enter a warehouse number and a movement type.

Depending on the movement type, you may need to enter a requirement tracking number. This is the number of the entity (such as a document or cost center) that caused the goods movement to take place, such as a purchase order number or a cost center number. The system uses the number you enter to build the dynamic coordinate for the interim storage area, if a movement type has been defined for that purpose. (See Interim Storage Bins)

From the initial screen, you have several options.

- To enter general information about the transfer requirement, choose Goto ® Header.

- To enter information about an individual transfer requirement item, choose Goto ® New item.

- To enter information for several items in the transfer requirement, choose Goto ® Input list or ENTER .

The fields displayed, and the contents of these fields, depends on the movement type you entered on the initial screen.

In the first section of the screen, the system displays the data that you entered on the initial screen. Based on the characteristics defined for the movement type, the system identifies the source or destination storage type. Furthermore, the coordinates for the storage bin in the interim storage area have been predefined.

As a minimum, enter the material number and the amount of the material to be transferred. To save the data and create the transfer requirement, choose Transfer requirement ® Post.

The system returns to the initial screen with the message that the transfer requirement was created. The system also displays the transfer requirement number.
