Documentation
Definition
Further subdivision of a WM process for the interface to the external system.
Use
Using a transfer order, it is possible to define and execute all possible transfers in the warehouse. Often, the external system requires more information on a goods movement, that is, information as to whether the movement is a stock placement/stock removal/posting change or stock transfer. This information is not always uniquely identifiable in the transfer order (movement type, transfer type, source/destination storage type). The variant can be used to pass on this additional information to the external system. It is transmitted to the external system as a logical message variant in the management record of the intermediate document (IDOCs). In addition, the variant can influence the control of the interface and IDOC processing. For certain variants you can set up different IDOCs, that is, depending on the variant, it is possible to pass on different data to the external system.
Example
Variant used as additional identification of a movement:
WNo SrcSTy DestSTy MTy WhNo Inactive Rec.system Variant
001 *** 001 0 WM_SUB_001 E01 Stck plcmnt
001 001 *** 0 WM_SUB_001 A01 Stck rmvl
001 001 001 0 WM_SUB_001 U01 Stck trnsfr
Variant used as means for controlling the IDOC structure:
WNo Message type Variant Inactive Function module
001 WMTORD *** L_IDOC_CREATE_WMTOID01
