Before you can start producing a material, all the necessary material components have to be issued from stock via goods issues. The delivery to stock of the manufactured material is documented in the system via a goods receipt. Both types of goods movement trigger the following transactions in the system:

• A material document is created to record the goods movement.

• The stock quantities of the material are updated.

• The stock values are updated in the material master record and the stock/consumption accounts are updated.
