Transfer Requirement#

🔒 TransferRequirement.Show

A Transfer Requirement is a list that specifies quantity demands for Products (Material Definitions) that are required by a storage or production system. It groups a list of products and quantities that must be transferred from one Storage Area to another Storage Area or a Resource.

Note

The transfer requirement list may contain duplicate products.

A Transfer Requirement, during its life cycle, follows the state model as illustrated in the next picture.

The lifecycle is further described in the table below. Note that there will be some release options that will control the options and degree of tracking that is required. For example, a transfer requirement can be marked to support partial releases and can also be considered automatically delivered after picking thus skipping the need for an explicit transfer order.

State Description

Picked All required quantity has been picked
