Understanding Trasnfer Orders in SAP WM

SAP transfer order is a request for warehouse use to pick or putway or internal transfer any product in SAP warehouse system.


Document used for executing goods movements with the help of Warehouse Management (WM). Logical, physical goods movements or stock changes can be the basis for a transfer order. These include:

    Picks

    Putaways

    Posting changes

    Repacking

    Inventory

As a rule, you create the transfer order with reference to a source document from WMS or other SAP application components. A source document can be a:

        Delivery document

        Transfer requirement

        Material document

        Posting change notice

The transfer order contains all the information required to execute the physical transfer of materials into the warehouse, out of the warehouse, or from one storage bin to another storage bin within the warehouse. In addition, it is also used for executing logical stock transfers.
Logical transfers of stock occur, for example, when goods are released from inspection and made available for general use. These logical transfers are called posting changes in WM.

Structure
A transfer order contains all the necessary information on a planned goods movement.
What should be moved?
Which quantity should be moved?
Where should the bin be moved from (source storage bin), and where to (destination storage bin)?
The transfer order consists of a transfer order header with general information and one or several transfer order items with material information (see the section on creating transfer orders).
Transfer Order Header
The transfer order header contains the transfer order number and the date that it was created and confirmed. It also identifies the transfer requirement or delivery on which it is based as well as the movement type.
Transfer Order Item
A transfer order can have one or several items. The number of items contained in a transfer order depends on how many storage bins the system accesses in order to reach the total quantity of goods needed for the picking requirement or how many bins are needed to store the goods (putaway).
A transfer order item contains subsections that specify the direction of the goods movement for each item.
Source storage bin
This subsection contains the source storage bin and the quantity of material that is being transferred. It indicates the storage bin from which goods are to be picked (goods issue) or an interim storage type (such as the goods receipt area) from which goods are taken to be put away in the warehouse.
Destination storage bin
This subsection contains the quantity of material that is being transferred and the storage bin into which the goods are to be put away. For example, it may contain a storage bin in a high-rack storage area that has been selected for a stock putaway, or an interim storage type (the goods issue area) for a stock pick.
Return storage bin
If, for example, you have the complete stock requirement set and you pick more stock than required from a storage bin, the system creates a subsection for the return storage bin. This can be the case, for example, when a complete pallet is removed from the shelf, but only a portion of the materials on the pallet is picked. In this case, the remaining quantity can either be returned to its original storage bin or transferred to another one.
 When you create a transfer order (TO), the system determines all the bins in the warehouse that are affected by the goods movement (source storage bin, destination storage bin, and possibly also the return storage bin), and it automatically updates the storage bin data. The system also updates the respective fields in the document that was used to create the transfer order in the first place.
Note Note
In order to simplify the analysis of errors when searching for storage bins, it is possible to display a log of the internal processes that take place between the material master data and the storage bin search function. The system records a log of where it searched for the storage bins. To display the storage bin search log, choose  Start of the navigation path Environment  Next navigation stepStor.bin search log  End of the navigation path from the preparation screen or the individual item screens when you create transfer orders for both stock picks and stock putaways.

  1. Delivering low-cost and on-time service to distribution centres, productive facilities and/or points of consumption through improving efficiency and productivity while reducing costs, and improving quality and accuracy in preparation of orders is just one of the competitive edge of the warehousing operation. First time understanding how WM works should be improving information flow, traceability and service rates between the warehouse and the rest of the cogs in the supply chain.
