Working with Material Issues

A material issue is a material movement in which a material withdrawal, or issue, material consumption, or a shipment of material is posted. A material issue leads to a reduction in warehouse stock. With SAP Inventory Manager, you can enter a material issue with or without a reference to a reservation.

Using the Material Issue screen, you can post a material withdrawal, a material issue, a shipment of material, an outbound delivery document, or a stock transport order, to a customer in real time, using the mobile device.

The main issue list provides the following information:

  • ID

  • Doc Date

  • Header

  • Items

From the main list, you can do the following:

  • Add a new issue to the list

  • Issue one or all items

  • Edit a selected issue or add detail

  • Clear an issue from the list

  • If a material is serialized in the SAP system, you can add or edit serial numbers to the item issues in an issue document

For each selected issue, you can either:

  • Get product orders based on specified parameters

  • Get reservations documents of materials

The material issues feature is supported at the warehouse level.
