Creating a TO for a Transfer Requirement Manually 
Creating a TO for a Transfer Requirement Manually
There are many factors that come into play when creating transfer orders manually from a transfer requirement and each individual procedure cannot be described in the scope of this documentation. How you process a transfer requirement varies depending upon the number of transfer requirement items and whether the stock movement involves a putaway or a pick. The procedures described below provide a detailed description of some of these options.
For information about creating transfer orders for several transfer requirements, see
Multiple Processing and Selecting TRs for Multiple Processing.For information about processing pre-allocated stock from the stock-out table, see
Stock Placement with Active Bypass.Putaway for a Transfer Requirement with One Item
Choose ENTER .
– Enter palletization information
– Process the TR in the background (Transfer order ® Post)
– Enter the destination bin manually
– Add the material to existing stock (Add to existing stock)
You can enter the destination bin yourself on the preparation screen.
If you choose Stock placement background, the system selects a destination storage bin for you.
If you decide to process the transfer requirement in the foreground, the system goes to the item screen and suggests a destination storage bin. In this mode, you can change the destination bin manually.
Adding Materials to Existing Stock
If you choose Add to existing stock, the system displays two tabs. The first tab contains a list of bins with the existing stock to which more can be added. The second tab contains a list of bins with the material that cannot be added to (for example, the bin is blocked for putaway). In the first tab, you can select bins for calculation or enter the open quantity to be added to the existing stock.
This screen also features an Available capacity column which displays the actual available capacity of the each storage bin using the unit of measure displayed in the Plcmnt qty (putaway quantity) field at the top of the screen. The Available capacity field is blank if the capacity check for the storage bin is not active. The system does not display storage bins that are full with the existing stock in this list.
For example, if you mark the bins and choose the Calculate button, the system adds the open quantity to the To be added fields from top to bottom based on the available capacity for the bins.
If the quantity shown in the Available capacity column is displayed as a decimal, you may need to adjust the quantity calculated by the system in the To be added field manually. For example, if the open quantity to be added is 200 pieces and the available capacity is shown as 123,648 pieces, you need to correct the quantity in the To be added column to 123 pieces.
The system displays a message with the newly created transfer order number.
Putaway for a Transfer Requirement with More than One Item
If you want to create the transfer order immediately for all of the TR items, enter d in the Foreground/background field for processing in the background and choose ENTER .
If you want to create the transfer order in the foreground, enter h in this field and choose ENTER. (Depending on the system configuration, you can leave the Foreground/background field blank.)
When you process the TR in the foreground, the system displays three tabs:
– Active work list
– Inactive items
– Processed items
In the Control section on the initial screen, if you deselect the Select items field, the system sends all TO items to the Inactive items tab. You can selectively activate them (send them to the active work list) by marking them and choosing the Active button.
– Branch to the palletization screen
– Create a storage unit (SU)
– Add materials to a storage unit
– Immediately generate TO items for items in the Active work list
The Active work list contains items for processing. The system processes all items for which there is a value in the Selected quantity column regardless of whether they are marked or not.
You can accept the default quantities in the Selected quantity column or change them.
In the active work list, the column Open quantity lists the transfer requirement (TR) quantities that are unprocessed. This applies to both putaway and picking. If you reduce a quantity (enter a smaller quantity) in the Selected qty field, the system adjusts the open quantity accordingly. This way, you can reduce (process) selected quantities without losing the information as to which quantities of a TR have not yet been processed.
The system will not process items that are listed in the Inactive items tab.
When the system has created the last TO item from the active work list, it displays them in the Processed items tab.
The Processed items tab lists all TO items that have been processed internally. However, these are not fully processed until you have posted them to the database. Therefore, you can still "back up" to the initial screen and start again to change the values for each item.
Creating a TO for a Transfer Requirement for Stock Removal
When you create a transfer order for a TR for picking, the procedure is basically the same as for a putaway.
Preparation Screen for Picking
The preparation screen features configurable table controls and pushbuttons at the bottom of the screen that allow you to select and deselect all items and to delete the entries in the open fields.
When you mark items and choose the Delete (trashcan) button, this does not delete the item from the system. It only deletes the entries in the fields that are marked so that you can reenter or correct them.
The button All storage types in the Storage type search section of the preparation screen displays a dialog box where you can enter up to 30 storage types for the search sequence. The system searches for storage types horizontally, from left to right on the first line, then the second line and so on.
Stock List
If you choose Stock list, the system displays two tabs. The first tab contains a list of stock that is available for picking. The second tab contains stock that cannot be picked, such as blocked stock.
You can enter the quantities in the Selected quantity column manually or you can allow the system to calculate these quantities. For storage bins that are marked in the first tab (Stock that can be removed), when you select the Calculate button, the system calculates entries on the screen from top to bottom and selects the needed quantity from the available stock.
Sort buttons at the bottom of the screen allow you to sort available stock by using criteria in the column headers.
If you want to empty several bins that have small quantities in them, this feature can be very useful. For example, click the left mouse button on the column header Avail.stock to select the entire column that lists available stock. To sort this column so that the smallest available quantity appears at the top of the list, choose the Sort in ascending order (arrow up) button. To select the bins with the smallest quantities first for the stock removal, choose the Select all button and then the Calculate selected quantity button. The system will copy the quantities from the bins "up to" the total quantity needed into the Selected qty column.
The system will also accept less than the open quantity, but informs you that the requested amount is not complete and asks if the quantity of created items is sufficient.
To complete the process, choose Transfer order
