Definition

This data type describes how assignments can be transferred. The following methods are available:

  • Transfer using inheritance

    If assignment A2 is created from assignment A1 with inheritance, then assignment A2 is a sub-assignment of A1. The quantity that is transferred from A1 to A2 is stored in assignment A2. This allows you to transfer exactly the quantity that was inherited back to A1 if assignment A2 is reduced or deleted. If the predecessor is not able to take over the assigned quantity, an error is processed.

  • Transfer using copy

    If assignment A2 is created from assignment A1 using the copy method, then assignment A1 is reduced by the quantity that is transferred to assignment A2. The quantity that was transferred from A1 to A2 is not stored in A2. If assignment A2 is reduced or deleted, the system does not take assignment A1 into account. The system only processes a transfer of assignments if the logistical item quantity of assignment A2 is changed:

    • The quantity is increased: The not yet transferred quantity of the predecessor is reduced. If the predecessor has assignments, then the assigned quantities of these assignments are reduced accordingly. This reduced assigned quantity is transferred to the successor and added to its assignment quantities.
      • Please note that this can include the creation of new assignments for the successor and the deletion of assignments for the predecessor (if the assigned quantity is reduced to zero).
    • The quantity is decreased: The not yet transferred quantity of the predecessor is increased if the predecessor is able to take over the decreased quantity. If the decreased quantity of the successor is smaller than the not yet assigned quantity of the successor, the assignments remain untouched. Otherwise the assignments of the successor must be reduced and the reduced assigned quantity is transferred to the predecessor and added to its assignments. This can include the creation of new assignments for the predecessor and the deletion of assignments for the successor (if the assigned quantity is reduced to zero).

Use

  • If you use transfer method '1' it is not possible to create sub-assignments.
  • The assigned commodity item and logistical item must have the same assignment transfer method.
