Creating Transfer Orders for Inbound Deliveries (SAP Library - Goods Receipt Process for Inbound Deliveries)

Creating Transfer Orders for Inbound Deliveries

To create a transfer order (TO) manually, proceed as follows:

From inbound delivery, choose Putaway ® Create Transfer Order ® Single Document.

On the initial screen, enter the delivery number, select Foreground in the Foreground/backgrnd field for foreground processing and choose ENTER .

Continue as described in Creating a Transfer Order for a Material Document.

After you have created the transfer order items for a delivery, the system automatically goes to the Processed items tab page. Although the TO column is marked for all the items on this list, the transfer orders are only processed completely after they are posted.

To save the transfer order, choose Transfer order ® Post.

What Happens in the System?

After the transfer order has been created, the system makes the following settings in the delivery document:

The system updates the quantity to be put away.

The putaway status is set to C, meaning that the material has been put away.

The WM activity status is set to B, which means that a transfer order has been created but has not been confirmed.
