Similar to the procedure in the integrated R/3 System, a posting change for the R/2-R/3 link (for example, release of stock from quality inspection) is posted first in the Inventory Management (IM) component (as a transfer posting) and afterwards in WM. This posting initiates the following updates in WM:

• Two quants are posted to the posting change area:

• a negative quant with the material identification of the stock to be cleared
• a positive quant with the material identification of the stock to be posted.

• The system generates a posting change notice. This serves as a basis for the posting change transfer order.

During the posting change transaction in Inventory Management, you can enter the goods receipt document to which the posting change refers. For example, when stock is released from inspection, you can enter the number of the originating document.

The only difference from other goods movements is that the communication document consists of LDK02 records (instead of LDK01 records for other movements).
