Transfer orders
Hello,
We are working in 4.6C.
I face the following problem using transfer orders between 2 plants (belonging to 2 different companies) :
in the receiving plant, after running MRP, the systems proposes Purchase Requisition. As there is only one vendor, the system finds automatically the source of supply. This means that in the issuing plant (the vendor plant) the stock transfer requisitions are automatically created and generate production planned orders (after MRP run).
Is there any way to exclude the Transfer requisitions in the vendor plant as long as they are not converted into transfer orders ?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Waeb
No there is not. The assumption is that if you use transfer orders you have confidence in your master data etc so trust what MRP or sales orders generate in the way of requisitions. So, in theory there is no harm in the supplying plant reacting to the requirement as soon as it arises - i.e. the requisition. I did spend a long time searching OSS to see if you could do what you want (I don't trust my data) but found nothing. Also had a couple of very expensive external consultants state that it is not possible. However, if you find a way around it, I will willingly be proved wrong. Good luck.
Thank you very much for your reply.
The only way I found to avoid it is to not maintain the source list. Therefore the vendor is not found and the transfer requisitions are not immediately reflected in the vendor plant.
Best regards,
