This scope item enables the goods receipt of finished materials from repetitive manufacturing into the warehouse. Upon repetitive manufacturing confirmation, finished materials are received into the designated warehouse goods receipt bin, and raw materials are issued from stock. The goods receipt (movement type 131) and goods issue (movement type 261) are posted simultaneously in a single material document. A new warehouse product attribute/indicator allows you to specify for each product, whether to automatically create warehouse tasks from the goods receipt bin to the final storage bin during goods receipt posting or manually later on. For manual warehouse task creation, you can pack the material into a handling unit as needed and then manually create warehouse tasks to move the material or handling unit from the production goods receipt area to the final storage bin.
