Automatic Creation of TOs for Transfer Requirement

Use

You can have transfer orders created automatically in the background by the system with reference to transfer requirements. The transfer orders are created independently of the deliveries.

Prerequisites

To have transfer orders created automatically in the background, you must first set the indicator Automatic transfer order creation for each respective movement type in the Customizing application for Warehouse Management under the path Activities → Transfers → Define Movement Types. The system automatically copies this indicator into the header item of the source document.

For more information on how to set up automatic transfer order creation for transfer requirements and posting change notices, refer to the IMG for Warehouse Management under the path Activities → Transfers → Set up Autom. TO Creation for TR/Posting Change Notices.

Features

To activate the automatic creation of transfer orders for these transfer requirements, you must start the report RLAUTA10 as a background job. For each occurrence of the indicator Autom. TO Creation, you must define a separate variant. This way, different starting times and repetition cycles can be defined for the different indicators. The following options are at your disposal:

The system creates a transfer order for each transfer requirement
The system creates transfer orders only for transfer requirements that meet certain criteria (for example, date or time). You enter these criteria individually into a user exit.
With the help of user exit criteria (see step 2) you can set up the system so that it groups transfer requirements under a group number and creates transfer orders for this group.
