SAP Configuration Steps
• Select a standard movement type which is very close to the
requirement.
• Select the standard movement type and click on Copy
• Enter the new movement type to which it is to be copied.
The new movement type should either be in 9** form or Z** form.
• Click on “Copy All” when a pop up window appears which
says “the entry to be copied has dependant entries”.
• Update the entries in the “Details” screen and then
maintain all the different views for a new movement type.
• Short texts – here you can maintain transaction short text
for different languages.
• Allowed transactions – a list of transactions can be
maintained which are allowed to post this movement type.
• Help texts – this text will be visible to the user when he
presses F1 for help. It can be maintained in different
languages.
• Field Selection – Over here required and optional entry
fields can be maintained. The fields are grouped into
logical groups like Account Assignment, Material Management
etc. Based on the group, a desired field can be selected.
This field can then be suppressed, made a required entry or
an optional entry based on the radio button selection.
• Update Control – This is applicable is Warehouse
Management is active. The settings in this tab provide the
reference movement type for Warehouse Management.
• Account Grouping – In this screen you can maintain the
account modification keys. The account modification key is
to differentiate account determination for the goods
movement. The values of this key are SAP predefined and
cannot be changed.
• Reversal / follow on movement – Over here you can maintain
the movement type for reversal movement. By Indicator type
of posting in this screen, the system decides whether the
quantity adopted from the reference document (which is
getting reversed based on this movement type) may be changed
or not.
• Reason for movement – Over here you can define which
reasons are allowed while posting the mentioned movement
type. This field is usually used to differentiate the
different scenarios (for reporting purpose) in which the
said movement type can be used. The movement type
configuration for Field Selection can be used to determine
if this is a mandatory or an optional field while posting
the document.
• Deactivate QM inspection – By this setting you can
configure the instances when this movement type is used and
Quality Management is not active. As a result no inspection
lots will be created for an inspection process.
• LIS statistics group – Over here different statistic
groups can be maintained for different possibilities of this
movement type.
