Material Transfer Report (MTR) rules must be pre-defined for use on the material transfer screen (C.20.15). When creating an MTR, a procedure automatically generates the MTR number using the MTR rule.
MTR rules can be defined on the C.10.09 MTR Rules screen.
To define a new MTR rule, enter the rule name in the MTR Rule field and descriptions in the Short Desc and Description fields. The naming rule must be entered in the MTR Definition field. For the rule definition, you can use fixed parts and a sequence number. The number of digits of the sequence is defined by a number of 0 (zeros) delimited by the special character #. You can use the LOV to select this part of the rule. The fixed parts of the rule can be used to mark the type of the document (MTR), to indicate the project, or anything else.
The example rule in the picture above would create MTRs like ‘MTR-0001-ZA’.
The MTR rule defined as the default rule by selecting the Default indicator is used when no other rule is assigned to the user.
If you want to use different MTR rules for particular users, you must assign MTR rules to users on the C.10.21 Set Environment screen.
