OTB Transfer 

Use

With this function, the system automatically logs OTB-relevant changes to the article hierarchy if a changed assignment in the article hierarchy would also result in a new budget assignment.

The OTB transfer provides you with the report OTB Transfer for Changes in Article Hierarchy (program RWRFTRF), which you can schedule regularly. This report brings the budget amounts and the assignments of budget numbers to purchase order documents in line with changes in the article hierarchy.

You can call the report on the SAP Easy Access screen, by choosing Logistics → Retailing → Purchasing → Seasonal Procurement → Open-to-Buy (OTB) → OTB Transfer (transaction WOTB3).

Prerequisites

You use a scheduled article hierarchy and plan budgets on at least one level of this article hierarchy.

Features

We would like to point out the following functions of the report:

·        It determines the open purchasing items or schedule lines in which the budget assignment changes and adjusts the budget assignment of the purchase orders affected.

·        It determines the contracts with an internal contract apportionment in which the budget assignment changes, and adjusts the budget assignment of the purchase orders affected.

·        It transfers the relevant budget amounts at the same time as adjusting the budget assignment of documents.
