Idoc after TO confirmation

Question

Hi,
I would like to be able to get our SAP system to create an Idoc after the TO confirmation in the warehouse - does anyone know if this is possible using SAP standard config?
Many thanks,
Steph.

Yes, you can invoke an IDoc during transfer order creation and transmit the same to an external system.
Some details in addition to what's mentioned in above post. Essentially, using the standard set up we will have to use ALE linkage.
Part 1:
Ensure the following are maintained for the logical system (external system):
1. Define logical system (external system that would receive the IDoc)
2. Configuring RFC connection for this logical system - perform a connection test once the logical system with the target host is established
3. Establishing the port connection for the logical system (to select the IDoc record type version and RFC destination)
4. Maintaining partner profile for the logical system with message type WMTORD (basic type WMTOID01)
Part 2:
Subsequently, maintain the following:
1. Interface per wh : 1 (link via ALE)
2. In the interface control, maintain the combination of Warehouse/source/destination storage type and movement types plus the receiver (the logical system defined in part 1) - essentially, when do you want the IDoc to be triggered
3. Function module assignment - maintain the combination of warehouse, message type WMTORD and function module L_IDOC_CREATE_WMTOID01
Once the above is maintained, during TO confirmation (based on the transfer combination in Part 2. 2.), an IDoc will be generated.
This entire setting is available under a single IMG node as furnished below:
