Results of a Goods Issue

The goods issue posting results in the following:

  • Documents

The system creates a material document for the movement. If the plants belong to different valuation areas, an accounting document is created in addition to the material document.

  • Change involving stocks

The quantity is debited from the issuing plant in the receiving plant, the quantity is entered into stock (not into the unrestricted-use stock but the stock in transit on plant level). A receiving storage location has not yet been specified.

  • Purchase order history

When you post a goods issue, the system automatically creates an order history record.
