Transfer Order auto create for Posting Change not working

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus -

When we release an inspection lot from "Q" status, it creates a posting change notice, and we have it configured to create a TO in the background to the same bin, and auto confirm. The desired and intended result is to take something from "Q" status to unrestricted status, while keeping it in the same bin - and avoiding the user having to deal with the transfer orders. Essentially it is seamless and all in the background, the user just sees that he has changed something from quality status to unrestricted.

It works fine when the entire quantity is selected for the usage decision, but when a partial usage decision is made, the transfer order does not create - and requires processing in LU04 for the posting change.

Why would this work for an entire qty, but not work for a partial qty - and simply require someone to go in to LU04 and hit "create transfer order" - with no additional information?

Any help would be most appreciated. Does it have something to do with a setting of quants?

Hi,

In case of a usage decision for a partial quantity, it is not possible to create the Transfer Order for the generated posting change notice automatically. This is only possible when the full quantity is released. The same happens if you release a partial quantity and post the rest to blocked stock or scrap. The reason is, there needs to be a user decision, which part of the quantity has to be posted, this is necessary for example when the quantity is distributed in the warehouse over many storage bins. But even if the full quantity is on one storage bin, there is no automatic TO creation. You can see this also in the online

processing (LT05), in case of partial quantities you have to enter the selected quantity in the quant list, for a full posting this is not necessary.

Hope this helps,
