Hi

201 is only for issue to cost center. for 291 you can post to any account assignment object like cost centre or network, project, or asset.

201 Goods issue for a cost center

The goods can only be withdrawn from unrestricted-use stock. Possible special stock indicators:

- K: Goods withdrawal from consignment stock

- P: Goods withdrawal from the pipeline

If you have withdrawals from consignment stock and from pipeline, payables to suppliers ensue.

291 Goods issue for any arbitrary account assignment

With this movement type, all account assignment fields are ready for input. You can assign the movement to any arbitrary account assignment object.

The goods can only be withdrawn from unrestricted-use stock.

Possible special stock indicators:

E, K, P, Q
