Inventory Management
Purpose:
This component deals with the following tasks:
• Management of material stocks on a quantity and value basis

• Planning, Entry, and Documentation of all Goods Movements
• Carrying out the Physical Inventory
All transactions that bring about a change in stock are entered in real time, as are the
stock updates resulting from these changes. You can obtain an overview of the current
stock situation of any given material at any time. This, for example, applies to stocks
that:
• Are located in the warehouse
• Have already been ordered, but have not yet been received
• Are located in the warehouse, but have already been reserved for
production or a customer
Integration of Inventory Management in the Logistic System:
Inventory Management is part of the Materials Management module and is fully

integrated throughout the Logistics system:

Material is procured from external or internal sources on the basis of the requirements
determined by Material Requirements Planning. The delivery is entered in Inventory
Management as a goods receipt. The material is stored (and managed under Inventory
Management) until it is delivered to customers (Sales & Distribution), or is used for
internal purposes (for example, for production).
During all transactions, Inventory Management accesses both master data (such as material
master data) and transaction data (such as purchasing documents) shared by all Logistics
components
Goods Movement:
Goods Movement can be define as: Transaction resulting in a change in stock.

Goods movements include both "external" movements (goods receipts from external
procurement, goods issues for sales orders) and "internal" movements (goods receipts
from production, withdrawals of material for internal purposes, stock transfers, and
transfer postings).
For each goods movement a document is created which is used by the system to update
quantities and values and serves as proof of goods movements.
You can print goods receipt/issue slips to facilitate physical movements and monitor the
individual stocks in the warehouse.
Structure of Goods Movement:
• Goods receipt:
A goods receipt (GR) is a goods movement with which the receipt of goods from
a vendor or from production is posted. A goods receipt leads to an increase in
warehouse stock.
• Goods issue:
A goods issue (GI) is a goods movement with which a material withdrawal or

material issue, a material consumption, or a shipment of goods to a customer is
posted. A goods issue leads to a reduction in warehouse stock.
• Stock transfer:
A stock transfer is the removal of material from one storage location and its
transfer to another storage location. Stock transfers can occur either within the
same plant or between two plants.

• Transfer posting:
A transfer posting is a general term for stock transfers and changes in stock type
or stock category of a material. It is irrelevant whether the posting occurs in
conjunction with a physical movement or not. Examples of transfer postings are:
o Transfer postings from material to material

o Release from quality inspection stock
o Transfer of consignment material into company's own
stock
Movement Type:
When you enter a goods movement in the system, you must enter a movement type to
differentiate between the various goods movements.
The movement type has important control functions in Inventory Management.
For example, the movement type plays an important role in
• Updating of quantity fields

• Updating of stock and consumption accounts
• Determining which fields are displayed during entry of a document in the
system
A movement type is a three-digit identification key for a goods movement.

The following table contains examples of movement types.
Goods Movements Movement Types
Goods receipts from a Purchase Order 101

Goods issue for a cost center 201
Result of a Good Movement:
When you enter a goods movement, you start the following chain of events in the
system:
• A material document is generated, which is used as proof of the

movement and as a source of information for any other applications
involved.
• If the movement is relevant for Financial Accounting, one or more
accounting documents are generated.
• The stock quantities of the material are updated.
• The stock values in the material master record are updated, as are the
stock and consumption accounts.

Depending on the movement type, additional updates are carried out in participating
applications. All updates are based on the information contained in the material document
and the financial accounting document. For example, in the case of a goods issue for a cost
center, the consumption values of the items are also update

Purchasing Organization
(Cross Company Code)
The structure of an enterprise is represented in the SAP R/3 System by the following
organizational levels:
Client:
Client is highest organizational level in Hierarchy. The Client is a Commercial,
Organizational unit within the R/3 System, with its own data, Master Records and Set of
tables. From a business perspective, the clients form a corporate group.
Company code:
Company code is the smallest unit in organization structure.
This level represents an independent accounting unit within a client. Balance sheet and
Profit & Loss statements, required by law, are created at company code level. You can
set up several company codes in one clients level.
Example: a subsidiary company, member of a corporate group.

Plant:
Plant can be a manufacturing plant in the true sense, or can represent a branch office or
site within a company code. A plant is an organizational logistic unit that structures the
enterprise from the perspective of production, procurement, plant maintenance and
material planning.
In SAP system, a plant must be assigned to one or more purchasing organizations.
Furthermore, a plant must always be assigned to a company code.
Storage Location:
The storage location is an organizational unit that allows the differentiation of material
stocks with in a plant. Physical inventory is carried out at storage location level.
Purchasing organization:
Purchasing organization is an organizational unit responsible for procuring materials and
services for one or more plants and for negotiating prices and terms of delivery with
vendors. The purchasing organization assumes legal responsibility for all external
purchase transactions.
You can incorporate purchasing into the company structure by assigning purchasing
organization to company code and plants. You can have a combination of centralized
and decentralized organizations.

Material Master:
The Material Master record is a company’s main source of material- specific data. It is
used by all components in the R/3 system.
The material master database (often referred to simply as the "material master",
comprising all the individual material master records stored in the system) contains
descriptions of all materials that an enterprise procures, produces, and keeps in stock. It
is the central repository of information on materials (such as inventory levels) for the
enterprise. The integration of all material data in a single database objects prevents the
problem of data redundancy. Every area, such as Purchasing, Inventory Management,
Material Planning and Invoice verification can use the data stored.
Material master
Transaction code: MM01
Since materials are processed by
various user departments within a
company and each department
stores different information for the
materials. The Material Master is
sub divided into information
grouped by user departments.
Each user department has a
different view of the material
master record and id responsible
for maintaining the data to support
its function.

Goods Receipts:
A goods receipt (GR) is a goods movement with which the receipt of goods from a
vendor or from production is posted. A goods receipt leads to an increase in warehouse
stock.
You use this component to post the receipt of goods from an external vendor or from
production. A goods receipt leads to an increase in warehouse stock.
The R/3 System distinguishes between the following types of goods receipts:
• Goods receipts for Purchase Order

• Goods receipts with reference to a reservation
• Other goods receipts
Goods receipts For Purchase Order:
If your company uses the MM Purchasing component, deliveries from vendors are most
likely the result of purchase orders initiated by the purchasing department.
The purchase order is not only the document with which the purchasing department
orders goods from the vendor; it is also an important planning and tracking tool for the
following departments: Purchasing, Material Requirements Planning (MRP), Inventory
Management, and Invoice Verification.
Reference to a Purchase Order
If a material is delivered for a purchase order, it is important for all of the departments
involved that the goods receipt entry in the system references this purchase order, for
the following reasons:
• Goods receiving can check whether the delivery actually corresponds to

the order.
• The system can propose data from the purchase order during entry of the
goods receipt (for example, the material ordered, its quantity, and so on).
This simplifies both data entry and checking (over deliveries and under
deliveries).
• The delivery is marked in the purchase order history. This allows the
Purchasing department to monitor the purchase order history and initiate
reminder procedures in the event of a late delivery.
• The vendor invoice is checked against the ordered quantity and the
delivered quantity.
• The goods receipt is valuated on the basis of the purchase order price or
the invoice price

"Material Document Posted"
When you post a goods

receipt, the system
automatically creates a
material document which
serves as proof of the goods
movement
Note:
(If you receive a delivery for

which no purchase order
exists, you can still post the
goods receipt. In this case,
the system generates an
automatic purchase order at
the vendor, if this has been
set for each movement type
in Customizing.)

Step 2:
Reservation:
A reservation is a request to the warehouse to keep materials ready for a goods issue at
a later date and for a certain purpose. A reservation for goods issue can be requested by
various departments for various account assignment objects, (such as cost center,
order, asset, etc.)
Purpose of a Reservation:
The purpose of a reservation is to ensure that a material will be available when it is

needed. It is also to simplify and accelerate the goods issue process and to prepare the
tasks at the point of goods issue.
Also important is that Material Requirements Planning (MRP), which means that
required materials are procured in time if they are out of stock, takes reservations into
account.
In a reservation, information is stored that is relevant for the goods issue and for MRP,
for example:
What? (Which material?)

How much? (In which quantity?)
When? (For which requirement date?)
From where? (From which plant or warehouse?)
To where? (To which recipient or customer?)
Note: You can create a reservation for exactly one purpose only; that is, in a
reservation, you can only enter one movement type and one account assignment object
(for example, a cost center).
When a reservation is entered, the following events occur in the system:
• The system creates a reservation document, which serves as proof of

the request.
• In the material master record, total stock and unrestricted-use stock of the
material remain unchanged. Reserved stock is increased by the
reserved quantity.
• In MRP, available stock is reduced by the reserved quantity. This is
visible in the current stock/requirements list. The reservation causes an
entry to be made in the requirements planning file.

changes were saved.

Step 6:
Goods Issues:
A goods issue (GI) is a goods movement with which a material withdrawal or material
issue, a material consumption, or a shipment of goods to a customer is posted. A goods
issue leads to a reduction in warehouse stock.
Inventory Management provides for the staging of components for production. You enter
withdrawals for production as goods issues with reference to the production orders for
which the components are required.
Materials can be withdrawn not only for production but also for other purposes (for
example, for cost center, CO order, maintenance order, or asset).
Before entering a goods issue, you have to find out whether any reference document or
data exists in the system.
When you enter a goods receipt, you can reference:
• Reservations
• Production orders
• Bills of material
If a reference document (reservation/order) exists, it is important to enter the goods

issue with reference to this document, for the following reasons:
• The goods issuing department can check whether what was requested is
actually issued.
• During entry of goods issue, the system can suggest data from the
reference document (for example, account assignment, requested
material, quantity, etc.). This simplifies both data entry and checking (over
deliveries and under deliveries) when entering a goods issue.
• After a withdrawal, the quantity withdrawn is updated in the reference
document and the reserved quantity is reduced accordingly. Thus,
Inventory Management can monitor the withdrawal process and Materials
Planning can update the stock/requirements list.
If you do not reference the corresponding reference document during the goods issue,
the reservation remains open and the requested quantity remains reserved, although the
request no longer really exists. Consequently, available stock in Materials Planning no
longer corresponds to the stock actually available!

Stock Transfer:
In a company, goods movements do not only occur in the form of goods receipts and
goods issues. Depending on the organization of the company (for example,
decentralized storage) and its sales policy, internal stock transfers might also be
necessary.
Stock transfers can occur at three different levels:
• Stock transfer from company code to company code

• Stock transfer from plant to plant
• From storage location to storage location (in the plant)
Stock Transfer from Company Code to Company Code
A stock transfer from company code to company code corresponds to a stock transfer
from plant to plant, with both plants belonging to different company codes.
Stock Transfer From Plant to Plant
A stock transfer from plant to plant not only leads to a change in stock quantity in both
plants; if both plants are assigned to different valuation areas, an accounting document
is also created.
This type of stock transfer can only be carried out from unrestricted-use stock of the
issuing plant to unrestricted-use stock of the receiving plant.
Stock transfers from plant to plant are relevant for Material Planning, since Materials
Planning operates at plant level.
From Storage Location to Storage Location (in the Plant)

A stock transfer from storage location to storage location in the same plant simply
causes an update of the stock quantities in both storage locations. The stock value
remains unchanged, and the event is not relevant for accounting.
A stock transfer from storage location to storage location is possible for all stock types.
Transfer Postings and Stock Transfers: Differences
You can post both stock transfers and transfer postings in the R/3 System. Transfer
postings differ from stock transfers in that transfer postings are not connected with a
physical goods movement. They usually involve a change in stock type, batch number,
or material number.
An example of transfer posting is the release from inspection into the company's own
stock.
Stock Transfer Procedures
There are three different procedures for carrying out a stock transfer:
• Stock transfer via stock transfer posting using one-step procedure

• Stock transfer via stock transfer posting using two-step procedure
• Stock transfer using stock transport order

One-Step Procedure Versus Two-Step Procedure
Both stock transfers and transfer postings consist of a "goods issue" from an issuing
point and a "goods receipt" at a receiving point. You can post a stock transfer from
storage location to storage location or from plant to plant either in one step or in two
steps.
The advantage of the one-step procedure is that you enter a single transaction in the
system.
The two-step procedure, on the other hand, allows you to monitor the stocks in transit.
After the goods issue is posted at the issuing point, the stock appears "in stock transfer"
at the receiving point and is managed as such in the system.
The two-step procedure is also required if users have authorizations only for their own
plants.
Material Documents for Stock Transfers
One-Step Procedure:
During a one-step stock transfer, the system creates two material document items for
every item you enter:
• An item for the removal from storage at the issuing point
• An item for placement into storage at the receiving point
Two-Step Procedure:
During a two-step stock transfer, two material documents are created:

Upon the removal from storage at the issuing point, the system creates a material
document. For every item you enter, two material document items are created, namely:

• An item for the placement into stock in transfer at the receiving point
• Upon placement into storage at the receiving point, the system again
creates a material document. For every item you enter, only one material
document item is created, because the quantity is only transferred from
stock in transfer into unrestricted-use stock at the receiving point.

issuing storage location and increases the same stock at the receiving storage location.
At plant level, the stock level does not change, except that the stock is distributed
differently among the storage locations in the plant. The system does not create an
accounting document for the material document. The quantity becomes available again

Upon the removal from storage at the issuing point, the system creates a material
document. For every item you enter, two material document items are created, namely:

• An item for the placement into stock in transfer at the receiving point
• Upon placement into storage at the receiving point, the system again
creates a material document. For every item you enter, only one material
document item is created, because the quantity is only transferred from
stock in transfer into unrestricted-use stock at the receiving point.

With Reference to the Stock
Removal Document
Transaction code: MBSV
Posting the placement into

storage changes the stock
situation in the following way:
Plant stock:
The transferred quantity is now
part of unrestricted-use stock.
Stock in the receiving storage
location:
The quantity from stock in
transfer has been posted into
unrestricted-use stock.
Since the stock transfer occurs
within the plant, no accounting
document is created in addition
to the material document.

Physical Inventory
Physical Inventory allows you to carry out a physical inventory of your company’s
warehouse stocks for balance sheet purposes.
In the R/3 System, physical inventory can be carried out both for a company’s own
stock and for special stock. Inventory for a company’s stock and for special stocks
(such as, consignment stock at customer, external consignment stock from vendor or
returnable packaging) must be taken separately (in different physical inventory
documents), however.
Furthermore, the stock can be divided into stock types. In the standard system, a
physical inventory can be carried out for the following stock types:
• Unrestricted-use stock in the warehouse

• Quality inspection stock
• Blocked stock
If batch status management is active, the first stock type

covers both unrestricted-use stock and restricted-use
stock.
Inventory of all stock types mentioned can be taken in a single transaction. For the
materials to be inventoried, one item is created in the physical inventory document for
every stock type.
Physical inventory takes place at storage location level. A separate physical inventory
document is created for every storage location.
If a material does not exist in a storage location, this means that no goods movement
has ever taken place for the material in the storage location. The material, therefore, has
never had any stock in this storage location. The material does not exist at stock
management level in the storage location. It is therefore not possible to carry out a
physical inventory for the material in this storage location.
This is not to be confused with a material for which a goods movement has taken place
and for which the stock balance is currently zero. A physical inventory must be carried
out in this case, since storage location data is not deleted when the stock balance is
zero.
Physical Inventory Procedures
The R/3 System supports the following physical inventory procedures:
• Periodic inventory
• Continuous inventory
• Cycle counting
• Inventory sampling

Periodic Inventory
In a periodic inventory, all stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance
sheet key date. In this case, every material must be counted. During counting, the entire
warehouse must be blocked for material movements.
Continuous Inventory
In the continuous inventory procedure, stocks are counted continuously during the entire
fiscal year. In this case, it is important to ensure that every material is physically counted
at least once during the year.
Cycle Counting
Cycle counting is a method of physical inventory where inventory is counted at regular
intervals within a fiscal year. These intervals (or cycles) depend on the cycle counting
indicator set for the materials.
Updating the Logistics Information System (LIS)
The physical inventory is connected to the Logistics Information System (LIS). When
inventory differences are updated in the LIS, they are displayed both on a quantity and
on a value basis. The physical inventory items are aggregated at inventory number level,
plant level, storage location level, and material level. If you need more detailed
information on the inventory differences in the LIS, you can access the list of inventory
differences directly from the LIS and continue the analysis at item level.
Constraints
The posting of physical inventory differences is subject to certain time constraints:
• The posting period is automatically set during counting. Therefore, the

inventory difference must be posted to the same period or - if postings to
the previous period are allowed - in the following period.
• The fiscal year is set by specifying a planned count date when creating a
physical inventory document. All subsequent postings to this document
must take place in this fiscal year and/or in the first period of the following
fiscal year, if postings to the previous period are allowed.

Step 20:
Physical Inventory
The physical inventory procedure is carried out in three steps:
1. Creating a Physical Inventory Document

2. Entering the Physical Inventory Count
3. Posing inventory differences
Creating a Physical Inventory

Document
Transaction code: M01
There are two methods of

creating a physical inventory
document, as follows:
1 Creating Single Documents:
In this case, you explicitly
specify the materials to be
counted. This method is
recommended if you want to
take inventory of only a few
materials.
2 Creating Sessions:
In this case, you enter the
criteria that should determine
which materials are to be
inventoried in which plants and
storage locations. The system
then creates a physical inventory
document for each plant and
storage location with the
materials that fulfill the criteria.
This method is recommended if
you want to take inventory of a
lot of materials
Menu Path:

Step 23:

Physical inventory Count:

R/3 System enables you to enter

the result of the count for a
material for which no physical
inventory document has been
created. In this case, a physical
inventory document is
automatically created upon entry
of the result of the count.
Thus, there are two methods for
entering a physical inventory
count, as follows:
1 Entering the count with
reference to a physical inventory
document
2 Entering the count without
reference to a physical inventory
document
During the inventory count, all
the materials being inventoried
are counted and entered
physically.
Process Flow
-The stocks are counted for

individually for the materials in a
physical inventory document.
-The count results are written on
the printout of the physical
inventory document.
-The printout is then directed
back to the person responsible,
so that he or she can enter the
count into the system and
analyze it.

There are various options for posting inventory differences depending on the processing
status of the physical inventory transaction.
• Posting differences after the count has been posted
A physical inventory document has already been created, and the count
has already been posted. You only have to post the inventory differences.
• Posting the count and inventory differences simultaneously after the

physical inventory document has been created
A physical inventory document has been created, but the count has not
yet been posted. The count results are available. You enter the count and
post the differences in one step.
• Entering the count without a document reference
You have a count result without reference; that is, no physical inventory
document has yet been created for this physical inventory transaction.
You create a physical inventory document, enter the count, and post the

Step 29:
Physical Inventory Information:
As well as providing a wide range of options for carrying out an inventory of your stocks,
the physical inventory functions in the R/3 System allow you to obtain an overview of the
progress of the physical inventory for each material at each stage of the process - from
creating the physical inventory document to posting the physical inventory differences

Step 30:
Consignment:
In consignment processing, the vendor provides materials and stores them on your
premises. The vendor remains the legal owner of the material until you withdraw
materials from the consignment stores. Only then does the vendor require payment. The
invoice is due at set periods of time, for example, monthly. In addition, you can also
arrange with the vendor that you take over ownership of the remaining consignment
material after a certain period of time.
Features
The consignment stock is managed under the same number as your own stock.
Consignment stock can, therefore, be transferred to the available stock.
You can define consignment prices in foreign currency. The currency in which the order
is placed with the vendor applies for consignment withdrawals.
You can determine period-specific consignment prices.
You can specify the consignment price in any unit of measure. The conversion factor is
stored in the info record.
Using consignment info records, you can make use of other condition functions used in
Purchasing, such as discounts and price quantity scales.
Consignment stocks of the same material from different vendors can be managed
independently from one another and at the price of the individual vendors.
Consignment stocks are not valuated. When the material is withdrawn it is valuated at
the price of the respective vendor.
A consignment material can be allocated to one of three stock types:

Unrestricted-use stock
Quality inspection stock
Blocked stock
You can make transfer postings between these three stock types. Withdrawals can only
be posted from unrestricted stock, however.
Pricing for Consignment Stock
Before you can order a material from a vendor or post a goods receipt to consignment
stock, you must maintain the consignment price for the vendor in an info record.
The price is required for material valuation and accounting purposes.
If you order consignment material from several vendors, the system maintains the
consignment stock separately for each vendor, since the individual quantities of the
material can have different prices with each vendor

Removing material from consignment stores or transferring material to your company’s

own stock results in liabilities towards the vendor. You should settle these liabilities at
regular intervals.
Consignment materials are settled without the vendor issuing an invoice, as the vendor
company is unable to track withdrawals directly. The vendor can only manage its
consignment stock by taking deliveries and payments into account.

Step 37:
Pipeline
A pipeline material is a material that flows directly into the production process from a
pipeline (for example, oil), from a pipe (for example, tap water), or from another similar
source (for example, electricity).
A material from the pipeline is always available; i.e. it can be withdrawn from the pipeline
at any time and in any quantity.
Depending on the system configuration, a material can be withdrawn only from the
pipeline or, in addition to the pipeline; normal stocks of the material can also be
managed.
Materials with Material Type PIPE

Pipeline handling is mandatory for materials with material type PIPE; i.e. only
withdrawals from the pipeline can be posted for these materials.
These materials have the following characteristics:
They are neither procured nor planned. They can be withdrawn from the pipeline at any
time and in any quantity.
They are not stored or kept in stock. No physical inventory is taken.
Pipeline movements are mandatory in all valuation areas; i.e. no other goods
movements may be posted.
Other Material Types

For each material type, you can specify in the valuation area whether pipeline
movements are:
Mandatory
Allowed
If pipeline movements are not mandatory but allowed, the material can be kept in stock
and both pipeline and other movements can be posted.
A material of this type can be withdrawn from your company’s own stock, from
consignment stock, or from the pipeline.

Activities
Pipeline Withdrawal
You can enter a pipeline withdrawal for an order or for a cost center. Pipeline
withdrawals differ from other goods movements in that they are entered with the special
stock indicator P.
The withdrawal is valuated at the price defined in the pipeline info record.
A withdrawal from the pipeline results in the following updates in the system:
• The pipeline withdrawal results in a vendor liability that must be settled
periodically in a similar way to the management of consignment stocks. In
the standard system the same account is used for both pipeline and
consignment liabilities, but a different pipeline liabilities account can be
defined in Customizing.
• A consumption history is kept.
The pipeline withdrawal has no effect on existing warehouse stock or on the availability
of the material.
Creating Pipe Line Material:
Transaction code: MM01
When creating a pipeline

material, it is important that you
note the following:
Assign the material a material
type that allows pipeline
movements. Pipeline
