Use Work Order Processing (E37)
Select this field to use work order processing for finished good items. The system uses the Protected quantity field in the Item Warehouse table to reserve the quantity of component items needed to make up the finished good work order. The quantity in the Protected quantity field is increased for each component item when you create a work order and is decreased when you process the work order.
Leave this field unselected if you do not want to use work order processing for finished goods. A message displays at the bottom of a menu screen if you try to enter the Work with Work Orders function and this system control value is unselected:

If one location type does not hold the entire quantity, the system will then break up the quantity between more than one location type.
