There is a business need to create a Transfer Orders for an item that is currently not in stock. The TO will be processed further along once the stock arrives in the specified From location. This item is an item that can be produced by the company (it has an active formula etc), however the Production Order will be manually created, if and when needed. When the line is saved on the Transfer Order it automatically triggers an unwanted Production Order - for the total quantity of demand currently in the system. The default order setting is set as Production.
Is there a way to limit this behaviour on Transfer Orders specifically? I have scratched around in the inventory parameters settings but can't find anything controlling this behaviour. If it is indeed demand driven, why doesn't the transfer journal also create a Production Order? I have tested with a transfer journal (same item, same inventory dimensions) and when this journal line is saved, it doesn't trigger any unwanted Production Orders.
Example of Transfer Order triggering an unwanted Production Order:
