Creating Distribution Orders 

Use

You can use this procedure to generate distribution orders. Distribution orders are transfer orders that do not reference a system document and are used as distribution lists. They are only used for merchandise-driven distribution (also referred to as merchandise-driven flow-through). The deliveries are generated online after the picking process has been confirmed (see Generating Individual Deliveries for Merchandise Distribution).

1. On the Generation of Distribution Orders - Selection screen, enter the required distribution center. To make sure that distribution orders are not generated twice for a particular transaction, select the Check existing distr. orders field.
2. Select the articles and quantities and enter the numbers of the recipients (goods recipients).
3. Choose Distribution orders ® Generate immediately or Distribution orders ® Execute in background or continue as follows if you want to change articles or quantities.
4. Choose Distribution orders ® Enter quantity.

The Articles /Quantities for Distribution Orders screen appears. The total quantity of an article to be distributed is displayed (aggregated for all recipients). You can change articles and quantities as required.

5. If you want to see how much each recipient is to be given of a particular article, select a line and choose Goto® Recipient details. The Quantities per Recipient screen appears. You can change the recipients and quantities for the article selected.
6. Choose Distribution orders ® Generate.
