Automatic To Creation From Delivery 331t1m

Automatic/Immediate Transfer Order Creation Automatic TO Creation for Transfer Requirements You can set up the Warehouse Management system to create transfer orders automatically as a background process. You set up the system to carry out this process by setting an indicator in each movement type separately. When you create a transfer requirement, the system copies this indicator into the transfer requirement header. To activate the automatic creation of transfer orders for these transfer requirements you must start the report RLAUTA10 as a batch job. For this process you define a variant for each different indicator. This makes it possible for you to define different starting times and time spans to repeat each task periodically. To create transfer orders automatically, three processes are available: 1. The system creates a transfer order for each transfer requirement 2. 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 exit. 3. Using criteria as described in point 2, you can also set up the system to assign a reference number to combine the transfer requirements for multiple processing. The assignment of the reference number can take place separately in a exit.

Creating Transfer Orders for Posting Change Notices You can create transfer orders automatically for certain classes of posting change notices. Using the indicator Automatic transfer order creation, you can select certain movement types for this processing. To activate automatic transfer order creation for these posting change notices, you need to plan the report RLAUTA11 as a batch job. Here you define a separate variant for the different indicators. This way, different starting times and repetition cycles can be defined for the different indicators. When the transfer orders are created, you can activate two processing types: 

A transfer order is created for each posting change notice.



A transfer order is created only for posting change notices that fulfill certain criteria (for example, date, time). The criteria can be defined individually using an SAP customer exit. If needed, you can generate a log to be sent to the inbox of a selected .

Setting up the System to Create Transfer Orders Automatically For instructions on how to set up automatic TO creation for transfer requirements and posting change notices, see the Warehouse Management IMG documentation under Activities  Transfers  Set up autom.

Immediate TO Creation for IM Posting

Whether the system creates a transfer order immediately for a material document posting in IM is based on several factors. These are illustrated in the figure below:

If a transfer requirement is defined for immediate transfer order creation, the system selects the field Immediate TO creation in the header. If the system does not create a transfer order immediately, you should activate the mail control. This way, you can determine whether the problem lies in the actual TO creation (a mail message is generated) or in the way the system processes the material document as shown in the above graphic.

Automatic/Immediate Transfer Order Creation for Deliveries

For the interface between SD shipping and WM, you can also set up immediate or automatic transfer order creation for deliveries. This process is controlled by the message control function in the SD Shipping component. The condition technique can be used to initiate message type "WMTA" when the delivery is created. The prerequisite for this is that at least one item of the delivery is relevant to WM. The combination "Shipping point / Delivery type" is used to determine the message type.

Depending on the processing time of the message type WMTA, there can be different processing types: 

Time 1 - 3 (processing later) In this case, the message is processed either via a program set in batch mode or manually via the transaction "Messages for delivery". Since this processing is executed independently of delivery generation, we refer to it as automatic transfer order creation.



Time 4 (processing immediately) Here message processing is initiated immediately after the delivery has been created. Therefore, we call this immediate transfer order creation.

If you want the system to generate transfer orders in the background without any additional activity necessary by the , we recommend that you use processing times "1" or "2". You can then plan to periodically execute the report RSNAST00 (Selection Program for Issuing Output) with a corresponding repetition time for the message type WMTA.

This variant of processing transfer orders in the system provides significant advantages in system performance in comparison to processing time "4" and is by far the preferred method to use for this activity. If you choose an appropriately small repetition time period when you set up the system to use report RSNAST00, the time required to create transfer orders is nearly the same as when using time period "4" for immediate transfer order generation.
