Transfer Order functionality provides you with the ability to ship inventory between Branches/Plants inside the corporation in order to maintain accuracy of the on-hand inventory amount and quantity. In the Sales Transfer, you need to set up each branch as a customer in the Customer Master Revision Table and also need to set up the customer billing instructions of that branch.
You should create a new version of the Sales Order Entry program (P4210) by copying the Transfer Sales version ZJDE0007 to use for Sales Transfer Orders, and then set up the processing options.
When you create a Transfer Order, the system creates a purchase transfer, which includes the supplier in the To Branch/Plant, and which Branch/Plant ships the items. It creates a Sales Transfer for supplying Branch/Plant to the customer and creates the purchase transfer for the receiving branch/plant. You can create the transfer documents—that is, pick slips, delivery notes, or transfer invoices, which are essential to complete the transfer. The transfer transaction can be recorded by using the Inventory Transfers program (P4113) or the Sales Transfer Entry program (P4210) from Sales Order Management. When you create a Sales Transfer, the system decreases the inventory after confirming shipment or printing the invoice, depending upon your transfer system set-up. The requested branch will receive the inventory quantity during inventory receipt by putting the OT number in the Purchase Receipt program. The system processes the transfer order based on the Order Activity Rules set up for the document type and line type combination.
When you create a Transfer Order, the system stores the Transfer Order information in the following tables:
