Hi,

Movement types have an important control function. In particular, they play a major role in updating the stock quantity and stock value in the material master record. Changing some of the indicators (such as the quantity string or value string) is considered a modification. Please note that update errors resulting from incorrect settings for a movement type

Hi,

Make sure you enter the correct To & From mov.type including the new one which you want to create in the transaction OMJJ.

i.e. if you want to create mov.type 901 by copying 501 then you have to enter the mov.types in From & To field.

Create new mov.type as per the requirement by Copying the standard SAP mov.type & maintain the necessary Short texts.

Also remember to create reversal mov.types for the new one which you are creating & maintain the same in the Reversal/Follow-on mov.type section.

Hope the above mentioned points will be helpful.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

Genrally SAP has covered almost all type of Inventory Movements so rarely it is required to create a new Movement Type. But is few circumstances only we need to create new MvT. So while creating new MvT, you need to take care of folloiwing;

1. Change the Short and Long Description

2. Alwyas create a Reversal Movemnet Type and assign it to the new MvT. (For e.g. if Z01 then create Z02 also and assign under "Reversal MvT" option)

3. Check whether reall used in all the Allowed Trsnactions.

4. Field Selection for MvT.

5. Alowed Reason for Movements

6. Account Grouping (Whether a new Acct. Modifier is required for having separate A/c Detmn.)

7. Whether QM should be active or not?

8. Batch Classification is required in background or foreground.

Depending upon the requiremnet u can copy the existing mvmt type & give the required description.

It has to be done in OMJJ.
