You use this parameter to define which entry transaction associated with the function is defined specifically for automatic order generation.
The entry transaction you define in this parameter must have the Transaction reserved for the automatic generation check box selected.

It is a prerequisite when setting up work order entry transactions that a minimum of one entry transaction is dedicated to the automatic work order generation functions (to support the release of work orders). This is achieved by selecting the Transaction reserved for automatic generation check box (field TRSAUTO) in the Work orders entry transactions function (GESMFL). Sage recommends that you assign an entry transaction code to this parameter that has this check box selected.
