Shipping of Materials
Use
You can use a shipping document to send not only equipment but also materials.
Integration
There is always a link to Inventory Management if either the sender or the recipient in the shipping document is of reference type “warehouse/storage location”.
Example
If you use a shipping document to send material to a warehouse (for example, acquisition of 26 items of material 4711), then as far as inventory management is concerned, this means an acquisition of 26 items in ETM as well as 26 items in MM.
You can branch to the material document by double-clicking on it in the shipping document.
Note
If you post both equipment and materials in the same shipping document and you then discover that you did not want to post the material and you cancel it, the equipment is also cancelled.
Recommendation
Cancel the document completely and create a new document using the
Copy from
function.
If you create material documents in ETM you should also cancel them in ETM and not in MM. If you cancel them in MM you will no longer be able to call the shipping document.
