Activities
Goods Issue in Inventory Management or in Shipping
You can enter a goods issue for the stock transport order in either Inventory Management (MM-IM) or Shipping (LE-SHP). For goods issues in Shipping, a replenishment delivery is created (see also
Posting Goods Issue in Shipping).Prerequisites for Goods Issues in Shipping:
To process the goods issue via Shipping, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled (see also
Goods Movements via Shipping):If the document type contains a delivery type but another requirement is missing (for example, shipping data), you receive either a warning message or an error message (depending on the system configuration) when you try to enter the stock transport order.
If you receive a warning message, you can create the stock transport order, but you can post the goods issue for this item only in Inventory Management.
