New Activities in MM: RMRU and RMWQ

Description

1. With confirmations for production orders, the material consumption to be posted as backflush was up until this point posted via automatically generated material documents. These material documents were indicated with the transaction type 'GI' and the G/L activity 'RMWA' as a goods movement entered directly via goods issue transaction. However, goods received for production orders were indicated with the transaction type 'WF' and the G/L activity 'RMWF'. With this enhancement, it is now possible to also post goods received for production orders as backflush from the confirmation. If both goods withdrawal and goods received are posted to a material document from a confirmation, only one transaction type and one G/L activity can be assigned. For this reason, all goods movements posted via the confirmation are indicated with the transaction type 'WR' and the G/L activity 'RMRU'. In this respect, withdrawals posted as backflush are indicated differently prior to Release 2.2.

2. With the usage decision to inspection lots, the material transfer postings were up until this point posted via the automatically generated material documents. These material documents were indicated with the transaction type 'GI' and the G/L activity 'RMWA' as goods movement entered directly via goods issue transaction. However, return deliveries for the purchase order could not be carried out from the inspection lot and only with the transaction type 'BE' and the G/L activity 'RMWE'. With this enhancement, it is now possible to also post return deliveries for the purchase order from the usage decision. If for a usage decision both material transfer postings and a return delivery are posted to a material document, only one transaction type and one G/L activity can be assigned for it. For this reason, all goods movements posted via the usage decision are indicated with the transaction type 'WQ' and the G/L activity 'RMWQ'. In this respect, material transfer postings for the usage decision and return deliveries for the purchase order are indicated differently than prior to Release 2.2.

Every ledger which previously was assigned the activity RMWA, has been assigned the two new additional activities, RMRU and RMWQ.
