The direct process for handling unit transfers

The Handling Unit Transfer – Direct Process is useful, if, for example, you need to quickly transfer large volumes of handling units from the normal warehouses to the shop floor warehouses prior to production, and there is no great distance between the warehouses.

In this process, handling units are transferred from the source warehouse or location to the destination warehouse or location without shipments, receipts, inbound or outbound inspections, or inbound advice. Only transfer orders and outbound advice are created, and the activities of the applicable warehousing procedure are overruled.

When the process is launched for a handling unit, the transfer process is performed automatically.

If an error occurs, the process is rolled back completely. This is to prevent handling units being stuck in mid-process and requiring users to perform corrections.

The direct process for handling unit transfers is performed in the Handling Unit Transfer - Direct Process (whwmd5230m400) session. This session is available as a stand-alone session. You can also start this session by selecting a handling unit in the Handling Units (whwmd5130m0000) session and selecting Transfer > Direct Process on the appropriate menu.

When the process is completed, you can view the completed transfer orders in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session and the Warehousing Orders History (whinh2550m000) session.
