Entering a Goods Issue 

Use

In the SAP system we distinguish between different possible goods issues that lead to a decrease in the warehouse stock.

●      Deliveries to the customer

●      Material withdrawal for production orders

●      Other internal materials stagings

●      Return delivery to the vendor

●      Scrapping and Material Withdrawal for Samples.

You can create goods issues in the SAP system with reference to an order, to a reservation , or to a bill of material. If there is no reference document available because the goods issue is unplanned (an urgent material requisition, for instance), you can also enter a goods issue without reference.

Since the goods issue process in the AFS system is essentially the same as that of the SAP standard system, you can find more information in the SAP standard documentation on Goods Issues. Links to the main contents of the SAP standard are mentioned above.

Procedure

In the AFS system you enter goods issues of AFS materials at SKU level. Additionally, there are AFS-specific functions available to you. Take the following steps to create a goods issue:

...

       1.      Choose Materials management ® Inventory management ®Goods movement ® Goods issue.

       2.      Enter the header data and the movement type and confirm your entries with Enter.

       3.      In the item overview specify the corresponding materials for the goods issue and navigate to the SKU detail screen with Enter.

       4.      You have the following options in the SKU detail screen for entering data at SKU level:

○       Choose Stock Selection to check the currently available warehouse stock of all SKUs of a material. In addition to the available quantities, the stock category, the batch numbers, and the storage location are displayed in this overview. You can then enter or change the quantities of individual SKUs intended for the goods issue. By choosing Line by line you navigate back to the SKU initial screen and copy the entered or changed quantities in the line view.

○       Using the input help (F4), specify the grid values, categories, and quantities that you would like to withdraw. Since negative stock is not permitted in the AFS system, you cannot enter a goods issue for stock keeping units that exceed the available stock.

○       When entering quantities intended for the goods issue at SKU level, the field Quantity total displays the withdrawal quantity at material level.

This feature of Stock Selection in now available in the goods movement dialog transaction MIGO.

       5.      If necessary, make an account assignment for the goods issue. (For an overview of account assignment data and their dependency on the movement type, see the SAP standard documentation Maintaining Account Assignment Data).
