Goods Receipt/Issue Slip Numbers (SAP Library - Inventory Management and Physical Inventory (MM-IM))

Goods Receipt/Issue Slip Numbers

Use

When you enter a material document or a delivery, you can enter a goods receipt/issue slip number (GR/GI slip number) in addition to the material document number.

The GR/GI slip number should only be used in those countries (Italy, for example) where it is required by law for goods that leave the plant and are transported on public roads.

In other countries the material document is usually sufficient, as this is printed on the GR/GI slip number in the standard system. External document numbers can be entered in the fields Material slip and Delivery note.

The GR/GI slip number can be assigned externally as well as internally. You can define different number ranges for each plant, storage location, and movement type.

Activities

Printing Goods Receipt/Issue Slips

In the standard system, the GR/GI slip number is not printed on GR/GI slips. If you want to print this number on GR/GI slips, you have two options of doing so

for standard goods receipt/issue slips, you can include the field for the GR/GI slip number in the SAPscript form
you can call up the form MB_XAB using transaction MBXA. This form contains all of the data that is relevant to transport and can replace the standard GR/GI slip

If you replace the standard GR/GI slip,

in Customizing for Inventory management, you have to assign a form version to the print report SAPLMBXA in print control
you have to maintain a printer for user parameter GRD, so that the printout is carried out in the spool

Maintaining Goods Receipt/Issue Slip Numbers When Entering Goods Movements

The initial and header screens for goods movements contain the field GR/GI slip no. (goods receipt/issue slip number).

If assignment of GR/GI slip numbers is active in the plant, you can manually specify a GR/GI slip number when entering goods movements or deliveries. If you do not specify a number, the system assigns it automatically.
