# Create Transfer Requirement for Maintenance Activity Order

:lock: TransferRequirement.**Create**

## Overview

This operation is used to create a new **Transfer Requirement** for a specific **Maintenance Activity Order**

## Preconditions

* The **Maintenance Activity Order** exists and is Active.
* The **Maintenance Activity Order** must be in one of the following Execution states: Requested, Approved, Released, or In Progress.

## Sequence of Steps

### Step 1

1. In the entity page of a Maintenance Activity Order that fulfils the criteria, navigate to the *Transfer Requirements* section and press the *Create* button in the section.
2. Optionally select a Data Group for the **Transfer Requirement**.
3. Select the appropriate Area for which the Transfer Requirement will be created.
4. Select the Request Type to be fulfilled. The available Request Types depend on the **Area** selected above and can be viewed and edited on the **Area** page. More information on the [Manage Transfer Requirement Types](../area/manage_transferrequirementtypes.md) page.
5. The values for *Source Location* and *Destination Location* will be automatically filled:

      * *Source Location* will be set according to the Transfer Requirement Type of the *For Location* Area.
      * If the *For Location* is a Storage Area, the *Destination Location* is set with that Storage Area.
      * If the *For Location* is a Production Line, the *Destination Location* is set with the defined *Destination Location* of the Transfer Requirement Type if it is configured therein or with the *For Location* if it is not configured.

6. Specify the Priority of the **Transfer Requirement**.
7. Define the delivery due date. The due date is the latest point in time when the **Transfer Requirement** must be completed. Pick a date from the calendar and a time by clicking on the clock icon.

8. Select **Next** to define the **Transfer Requirement** Items.

### Step 3 - Transfer Requirement Items

1. If a substitute **Product** is defined in the **BOM**, choose the **Product** from the list of possibilities, otherwise the **Product** can not be changed.
2. For each of the Products displayed in the left side panel, specify the *Requested Quantity*.
3. Optionally, if the Source Location Area is not external, a specific existing **Maintenance Activity Order** can be requested.
4. Decide whether to allow substitutes for this **Product**. This option is only available if the **Product** is set in the **BOM** as allowing substitutes.
5. Select the **Create** button to complete the creation of the **Transfer Requirement**.
