TO Creation for TRs / Posting Change Notices
In the WM System, you can generate (TO) in the
background, directly following the creation of a
transfer requirement (TR) or
Creating transfer orders is not started in the
transaction that creates the transfer requirement or the posting change
notice, but by a report that runs in the background. For this purpose, you
need to classify the transfer requirements and posting change notices
according to specific criteria.
Activities
Set the necessary parameters for processing in
the specified sequence:
1. Mail
recipient
While the transfer
orders are being generated in the background, you can create logs and error
messages using mail messages. These mails are allocated to certain recipients
by means of a mail indicator.
Determine the mail
indicators and assign these to the recipients.
If both fields
Mail recipient and document
user are filled with data, the entry in document
user counts.
2.
Control for automatic TO creation
During automatic transfer order creation for
transfer requirements, you can determine according to which criteria the
transfer orders are to be created. For this purpose, the transfer requirements
are classified and allocated to the transfer order creation criteria. The
following three variants are defined:
1) A transfer order
is created for each selected transfer requirement or posting change
notice.
2) A transfer order
is only created for the transfer requirements or posting change notices that
are subject to certain criteria (for example, date or time).
These criteria are
determined individually using the following SAP user exits:
- MWMTOAU1 (function
exit) for transfer requirements and
- MWMTOAU3 for
posting change notices
3) As under 2 (only
for transfer requirements), but here you can group several transfer orders
together with a group number for further processing. The selection of the
transfer requirements as well as the allocation of the
group number is executed using the function exit
MMWMTOAU2.
Define the criteria
for automatic TO creation and develop, if required, the respective SAP user
exits.
1.
Movement type control
During manual creation of a transfer
requirement or a posting change notice, the "Automatic TO Creation" indicator
is copied as a
default value from the WM movement type into the transfer
requirement header or the posting change notice.
Assign the
indicators Automatic TO to the WM movement types
that you want for background processing.
2.
Activate background processing
To activate
automatic TO creation for transfer requirements, you must create a report
variant for the report
RLAUTA10 for each "Automatic TO creation" indicator defined
beforehand. These report variants can be planned as batch jobs
only.
Activate the
automatic TO creation for posting change notices as described above for the
transfer requirements. For this purpose, use the report
RLAUA11.
Activate background
processing.

"Developing Function Enhancements " for more information on "User
Exits".
The creation of report variants as well as the
scheduling of background jobs is described in the documentation of the Basis
application.
