Transfer Requirement Updates

Transfer Requirement Updates

As described in Changing a Transfer Requirement and Deleting a Transfer Requirement, it is possible for you to change several fields in a transfer requirement and to delete transfer requirements. The system can also update the data in a transfer requirement.

A transfer requirement is updated by the system

When you create, confirm or cancel a transfer order

When you cancel a goods receipt posting or a goods issue posting in Inventory Management

Updating a Transfer Requirement when a Transfer Order is Created, Confirmed or Canceled

When you create a transfer order based on a transfer requirement, the following data is updated automatically in the transfer requirement:

Transfer order quantity

Transfer order number

Number of the transfer order items

Number of the open transfer order items

Once you have confirmed the corresponding transfer order, the system updates the field for the open transfer order items in the transfer requirement.

When the entire quantity of a transfer requirement has been processed by a transfer order, that is, all items have been processed, the system sets the Header status to E, meaning that the transfer requirement is completed.

Updating a Transfer Requirement when a Posting is Canceled

Sometimes when a goods receipt or goods issue posting is canceled in IM, an open transfer requirement exists for the quantity being canceled. This can happen if the goods have not yet been transferred in WM, that is, a transfer order has not been created. In this case, the system automatically determines if a corresponding transfer requirement exists. If it finds one, the system reduces the quantity in the transfer requirement by the quantity being canceled or deletes the transfer requirement if the entire quantity is to be canceled.
