Triggered by transport orders: Creating or Editing a Rule for an Automatic TO

Rules filter regular incoming transport orders based on four criteria:

If all criteria of the rule and a regular transport order match, an automatic transport order is generated in accordance with the selected transport order template.

Sample combination of criteria for creating rules

x = selected, o = not selected
MNR = Material Number
LTT = unit load type
S = location
H = hall
HTS = station
HP = storage location
