This function should be run in order to generate the Shop Transfer Orders needed to move un-requisitioned stock (on the Require Resource tabs of Work Orders) from your Stocking to Staging Locations. If items are not available at the Stocking location, a BO condition will be generated. At this point, you may use the Reorder Advice Report to identify items that be purchased to relieve the back order. Alternate, you may use Start Generate Purchase Orders to create the PO’s so that these required items may be bought to stock.
After running this function:
1. The Transfer Ticket Report should be run: this printed document instructs the user to pull the stock from the stocking location to the staging location.
2. Record Transfer Tickets function should be run to tell SAM Pro that the materials are now available at the staging location.
Credit Hold Work Orders are blocked from the checklist. The user is informed of the problem, in a workspace text box, followed by the list of excluded Credit Hold Work Orders:
"The following WorkOrders on Credit Hold were not processed. A Credit Manager must remove the WorkOrder from Credit Hold before rerunning this function. A WorkOrder appearing on this list multiple times has multiple items to be requisitioned."
If you discover that a Shop Transfer Order has been generated in error, the Cancel Shop Order button (in the Shop Order viewer) may be clicked; the quantities allocated or back ordered will be zeroed, and the Date Closed will be set to today. The Requisitioned flag and Shop Order Id on the Work Order's ReqResources tab will be cleared. This provided a way of undoing the Start Materials Requisitioning function which generated the Shop Order. Note that the Cancel Shop Order button is only available if the Transfer Ticket has not yet been printed or recorded.

This range implements Branch filtering for this function. If hard-block Branch filtering is enabled (with the sys-ffv-global-settings option BranchFilterWithHardBlock set to true), the Branch Id will automatically be set to the user’s Branch filter: even if the user clears the Branch Id range, only those Branches that match his or her Branch filter (in the User record) will appear.
