When you create transfer orders for storage units manually, the same functions are available as those for creating transfer orders based on transfer requirements. You can

For information on how to create transfer orders when SU management is not active in your system, see Creating Transfer Orders.

Procedure

Creating homogeneous storage units

  1. Choose Logistics → Logistics Execution → Internal Warehouse Processes → Stock Transfer → Create Transfer Order→ No Source Object from the SAP menu.
  2. Enter the warehouse number, movement type (501 in the standard system), material, requested quantity, plant and storage location and choose Preparation.
  3. On the preparation screen, enter a storage type that is managed for storage units and choose Stock placement background.

    4. The system proposes both a destination storage bin and a destination storage unit. If the destination storage type is assigned to an ID point, the system creates the TO working item with the ID point storage type (see Using an ID point and Example: Putaway using an ID point).

  4. To complete the task, post the transfer order to the database.

Creating mixed storage units

  1. Choose Logistics → Logistics Execution → Internal Warehouse Processes → Stock Transfer → Create Transfer Order→ Create Storage Unit.
  2. On the initial screen you must enter the warehouse number and the movement type. You can enter the SU number manually.

    3. You can also enter additional default information that is then valid for all items of the storage unit you are creating.

    Choose Preparation.

  3. On the TO preparation screen you enter the storage unit type and a list of the materials and quantities to be contained in the storage unit.

    4. Depending on the settings in Customizing, you may also need to enter a destination storage type that is SU-managed.

  4. Choose Create trans. order to complete the preparation screen for the transfer order.

    5. The system assigns the storage unit number and storage bin for the storage unit, unless they have already been entered manually.

    On this screen you also have the option to choose Reset TO. This makes it possible for you to enter a new storage unit number and/or destination storage bin.

  5. To complete the task, post the transfer order to the database.

You can also use this procedure to create single homogeneous storage units. In this case, enter only one material item for the storage unit in the transfer order preparation screen.

Add materials to an existing storage unit

  1. Choose Logistics → Logistics Execution → Internal Warehouse Processes → Stock Transfer → Create Transfer Order→ Expand Storage Unit.

    2. On the initial screen you must enter the SU number of the storage unit. You can also enter default information that is then used for all items of the storage unit you are extending. In addition, you must enter the movement type for the material to be added to the storage unit.

    Again, you have the option of entering default information that will be used later in the transaction for each item to be added.

  2. To go to the transfer order preparation screen, choose Preparation.

The system displays two tabs:

The Items to be added tab is used to enter the materials that you want to add to the SU. The Stock in SU tab lists the materials that are already in the SU.

Certain values displayed on this screen (for example, the destination storage bin) cannot be changed because they pertain to the already existing storage unit.
  1. Enter the materials, quantities and any other pertinent information for materials that you want to add to the storage unit and choose Create trans.order.

    2. The system creates the working items for the transfer order.

    At this point, you still have the option to choose Reset TO if you need to add more materials or correct the working items.

  2. To complete the task, post the transfer order to the database.
