Goods Movement Type details

[-Ralph]

We used 21 different movement types in our S4C system last year. When using the native inventory reports, these movement types are critical. Next to each movement type # is a 3-5 word phrase attempting to describe the movement type. However, in looking at some of the short descriptions I'm still left wondering exactly when or in what scenario each type could be used.

Has anyone seen a document that expounds upon the goods movement types? 3-5 word descriptions are one thing, but 3-5 sentences would be better, especially for anyone who doesn't regularly process inventory transactions but is needing to generate inventory reports.

Thanks.

Hello rabraham.

How are you? I have excluded the Tag "SAP S/4HANA Cloud" and included the Tag "SAP S/4HANA Cloud for Supply Chain" for this question, as Goods Movements Are Objects Related to Supply Chain Line of Business.

Regards.

Juliano Romanato.

Hello rabraham,

I didn´t came across a document like the one you are looking for, but I will like to give a try from what I have at hand.

Firstly, you can group the Movement Types by classification.

• 1XX - Goods Receipt from Purchasing or Production and their Returns
• 2XX - Goods Issue for Consumption
• 3XX - Transfers
• 4XX - Transfers
• 5XX - Goods Receipt without Reference to Purchase Order or Production Order
• 6XX - Logistics Movement Types
• 7XX - Physical Inventory

Common examples:

On the SAP Help Portal, you can find a Feature Comparison for Goods Movement, this list will give you insights on the information you are looking for (for example if you want to perform a Goods Receipt for a Purchase Order, you can use 101, 103, 105, 543 or 545):

https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_CLOUD/32da8359c8ee4e8b8e8c5e15cacba5aa/de29287f0c0840caacbbc6f7...

I also would like to suggest to give a look at this extended list of Movement Types:

https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_CLOUD/0f69f8fb28ac4bf48d2b57b9637e81fa/8b7b5fe73ef54063a2bfcfbe...

The description of the Movement Type is almost "self-explanatory", but the "when" to use it came by experience, scenario, industry, etc... Please if you need any particular information about any of your 21 Movement Types, let us know and me or other member of the community will try to help you.

I hope this can help you a little bit, and perhaps someone came across with a detailed document! 🙂

Best regards,

Gabriel
