Transfer Requirement

Stock movements are planned and triggered via the transfer requirement.
Transfer requirements form the basis for creation of transfer orders that are used
to carry out physical goods movements.

You can create transfer requirements

 Automatically by posting a goods movement in Inventory Management
 Automatically by requesting materials using the Production Planning
system
 Manually using WM
You can create transfer requirements with or without reference to other system
documents.
 Note
 You can create a transfer requirement

With reference...  
to a material to move stock into or out of the warehouse
document
to a production to supply required materials to a production supply area
order
Without to move stock from one bin to another in the warehouse
reference...
  to request crate parts and release order parts to replenish
their assigned storage bins in production supply areas
  to initiate the replenishment of fixed bins in WM

Transfer requirement updates

A transfer requirement is updated by the system
 When you create, confirm or cancel a transfer order
 Once you have confirmed the corresponding transfer order, the system updates
the field for the open transfer order items in the transfer requirement.
When the entire quantity of a transfer requirement has been processed by a
transfer order, that is, all items have been processed, the system sets the Header
status to E, meaning that the transfer requirement is completed.
 When you cancel a goods receipt posting or a goods issue posting in
Inventory Management
Sometimes when a goods receipt or goods issue posting is canceled in IM, an
open transfer requirement exists for the quantity being canceled. This can happen
if the goods have not yet been transferred in WM, that is, a transfer order has not
been created. In this case, the system automatically determines if a
corresponding transfer requirement exists. If it finds one, the system reduces the
quantity in the transfer requirement by the quantity being canceled or deletes the
transfer requirement if the entire quantity is to be canceled.

Example
Creating a transfer requirement in IM
A purchase order for material MATL1 is created in the Materials Management
(MM) system. At a later time, the material MATL1 is received. When the material
is received, you post goods receipt in IM . In this case, IM automatically creates a
transfer requirement and updates both IM and WM data about the material. The
quantity of the goods received is located at the goods receipt interim storage
area, also known as the receiving area. Subsequently, the quantity of the goods is
moved from the receiving area into the warehouse. The physical movement is
carried out with a transfer order, which is created by the system using
information contained in the transfer requirement.
Manual transfer requirement generation
A work center in the production department needs a quantity of an overhead
costs material. In this case, the user manually creates a transfer requirement in
WM. Subsequently, the quantity of the required material is moved from the
warehouse to the goods issue interim storage area, also known as the distribution
 area. The physical movement is carried out with a transfer order, which is created
by the system using information contained in the transfer requirement.

Transfer Order :-

Creating Transfer Orders

Use
To execute goods movements in the warehouse, you create transfer orders in the
Warehouse Management System (WMS).
 You create a transfer order for an inbound delivery as soon as the
supplier informs you of the scheduled delivery. The advantage of depicting the
goods receipt process through the inbound delivery function is that you can
execute many processes in advance even before the actual goods receipt
posting takes place.
 You create a transfer order for an outbound delivery if you want to
supply a delivery to a sales order for which you have previously created an
outbound delivery in the system (see Goods Issue Processing with Reference to
Outbound Delivery ).
 You create a transfer order for the transfer requirement whenever the
transfer requirement has been created as a source document. This is the case,
for example, if you post a goods receipt in Inventory Management (IM) or if a
transfer requirement is created through the PP interface for production supply.

Prerequisites
One of the following source documents exists for a transfer order:
 Inbound delivery
 Outbound delivery
 Transfer requirement
 Posting change notice
 Material document
QUANT

A quant is therefore a material quantity in a storage bin. In Warehouse

Management in SAP ECC, materials can only be considered and moved
in quant form. The concrete number of materials and the unit(s) of measure
are irrelevant; a quant of a material can consist of one or x pieces, kilograms,
or liters
