How you select items to process transfer requirements and deliveries is described in the corresponding procedure topics.
Additionally, the follow-on screens which list the transfer orders that were created and the detail screens as well as the follow-on functions (Start multiple processing and Release/Print groups) also include table controls.

Multiple processing using groups is a four-step process:
