Define Movement Types for Material Movements

In this step you can change movement types for goods movements in the Project System. Changes are only necessary, if you do not use the SAP standard settings.

Standard settings

In the standard system, movement types are preset for all transactions/events.

Recommendation

SAP recommends that you accept the settings defined in the standard system. In this case, no action is required on your part.

Activities

1. Check the SAP standard settings.
2. If necessary enter additional movement types.

Additional information

A description of standard movement types and how to define new movement types are in the IMG activity Copy, change movement types.

Attention

Movement types have important control functions. They play a large role in updating stock quantities and stock value. A change to some indicators (for example, quantity string, value string) is seen as a modification. Note that update error due to incorrect settings for a movement type are modification damage and cannot be corrected by the SAP Hotline
