Material Movements
When a goods movement takes place it is represented by a Movement Type Movement types are three-digit keys used to represent a movement of goods 101 goods receipt into warehouse 102 - reversal of goods receipt for purchase order into warehouse/stores 103 goods receipt into GR blocked stock 122 return delivery to vendor 501 - receipt w/o purchase order into unrestricted-use stock

Goods Receipt
Goods receipt is a goods movement activity in which we accept goods into our system. If materials are delivered against a purchase order we will reference that order and SAP can:

retrieve data from the PO for us to verify: material, quantity, and so on Update inventory G/L account automatically Update purchase order history with the receipt Update physical inventory

Goods Receipt Destinations

Goods receipt into (destined for) the warehouse Goods receipt into consumption
SAP increases total valuated stock by the delivered quantity. SAP updates the stock value at the same time. SAP only updates the consumption statistics in the material master record SAP does not update the consumption statistics if the goods movement posting uses the special stock types: sales order stock type and project stock. SAP maintains the same stock level. SAP only records it in good receipt block stock of the purchase order history. If goods receipt is being posted into a storage location where data does not yet exist for the material, SAP automatically SAP AG - University Alliances and The Rushmore Group, LLC 2008. All creates a storage location data in the material master record.
