how is movement type utilized?

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I know movement type is a 3 digit number to indicate the type of goods movement.

What I need to find out is how is it, technically, used to serve its purposes , eg. during PGI.

I already have the list of the numerous movement types from this forum.

What I am trying to know is how movement type setting is used by the system for PGI etc.

Could you kindly explain briefly please?

regards

Pascal

What I am trying to know is how movement type setting is used by the system for PGI etc.

For SD transactions, the movement type is assigned in the schedule line cateogry level. For example, the schedule line category CP, in t.code VOV6, is assigned with movement type 601-Goods issue.By this way, the gets copied to delivery document,which you can find in the delivery line item->administration tab.

From Inventory movement side, in t.code OMJJ, this movement type is assigned to allowed transactions, for example, VL01N, VL02N etc.This is how the system knows which movement type needs to be used for a business transaction.

During PGI, system reduce the stocks with movemnt type 651 and with PGR movemnt type 653 will add stcoks in SAP.

with movement type durning PGI we can determine GL's in OBYC (account determination in MM) with combination of Valuation area/account modification /movement type we can determine.

Hope this will help you
