Function documentationPosting of Unplanned Goods Issue

 

You can use this function to post unplanned goods issues without reference to outbound delivery orders in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). The following goods issue (GI) processes are available:

  • Scrapping is the process of scrapping stock from the scrap zone or directly from any other storage bin in the warehouse without using outbound delivery orders. If EWM is linked to SAP ERP, the goods issue is posted with movement type 551 in SAP ERP.

  • Sampling is the process of posting a goods issue for sampling purposes without using quality management functions. The sample is destructive, that is, the goods issue has the same effect as scrapping. If EWM is linked to SAP ERP, the goods issue is posted with movement type 333 in SAP ERP.

  • Stock Correction is the process of posting a goods issue due to a stock loss without using physical inventory functions. By entering a negative quantity, you can also post a goods receipt due to a stock gain. This function is only available for existing stock, that is, you cannot create new quants with this function. If EWM is linked to SAP ERP, the stock correction is posted with movement type 711-716 in SAP ERP. In SAP ERP a physical inventory document can be created automatically with the stock correction.

  • Goods issue to a Non-EWM Warehouse is the process of transferring stock to an SAP ERP storage location not managed by EWM without using outbound delivery orders. If EWM is linked to SAP ERP, the goods issue is posted with movement type 411 (in case of normal unrestricted-used stock). For other stock types and for sales order stock or project stock, other movement types are used. The plant of the SAP ERP storage location is determined by the party entitled to dispose.

Additionally, you can cancel a goods movement document created with help of this function or by using stock data transfer. For more information, see Initial Stock Data Transfer.

Note Note

An unplanned goods issue can be performed even if you have selected the No GI checkbox in the storage type settings because the unplanned goods issue is not an outbound delivery process. For more information, see Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under Start of the navigation path Master Data Next navigation step Define Storage Type End of the navigation path.
