Monitoring Order Confirmation and Creating Delivery Reminders

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to monitor order confirmations and delivery reminders.

Goods Issue with Reference to a Production Order

You enter a scrap posting if it is not possible to use a material any longer, for example, because it has been damaged or because its minimum shelf life has been exceeded. Scrapping is possible from each of the three stock types and is entered as a GI without a reference.

The following movement types are defined for scrapping:

  • 551: Withdrawal for scrapping from unrestricted-use stock
  • 553: Withdrawal for scrapping from stock in quality inspection
  • 555: Withdrawal for scrapping from blocked stock

Scrapping causes a reduction in the associated stock. The system moves the value of the scrapped material from the stock account to a scrap account.
