How to post GR for a consumable material without PO and directly consume it in MIGO?

[Adel_Rihan]

I need to post a GR for a consumable material in MIGO without a PO. The material should not be stored in inventory but should be directly consumed (expensed to a cost center or another account assignment object).

I understand that movement type 201 is for issuing from stock, but in this case, the material is not in stock. 501 allows GR without PO, but it does not directly consume the material.

Is there a standard movement type for this process in SAP?

If not, can you guide me on how to create a custom movement type to handle this scenario?

Thanks in advance!

To clarify your request: Could you show us the financial document you are waiting for and explain why you want to trace a stock movement and how you can justify this cost for tax/audit purposes?

@RaymondGiuseppi I think that the posting should credit a cost account and debit either vendor payables or a GR/IR account.

So it's more of an invoice document with no stock movement. Let's wait for the OP's answer: why does he want to track stock in/out without a purchase order?

If you want to receive a non-stock - then you need the PO to receive against -- as non-stock means it never hit quantity update --If you do not have PO --why do you want to receive -it ?-what is the business process or intent to do the GR that would not result into anything -- instead you can Non-PO Invoice and capture the cost of service or goods received for which there is no PO and items will not hit stock -- 501 is used when items will hit qty update and increase your stock value. There are no such movements for non-stock 501 or no goods receipt without a PO for non-stock items.

I understand that non-stock materials do not have quantity updates and typically require a PO for GR. However, my goal is to automate the PO creation directly from MIGO for both stock and non-stock materials. This process is already working for stock materials, but for non-stock materials, I'm exploring options to achieve a similar automation.

There is no auto solution for nonstock PO creation --if you are on S4 use can build an App on SAP BTP-for non stock-- that would create the PO first and then do the GR based on the PO. Make sure you have basic checks in place so that it does not get misused or cause more issues downstream.

Hello @Adel_Rihan 

If you want to "receive" a consumable material without PO, then it is not really a material movement. That would more of a FI/CO posting to credit a cost account and debit either a GR/IR account or vendor payables.
