All Movement Types in SAP
What Is a Movement Type?
When you enter a goods movement in the system, you must enter a movement type to differentiate
between the various goods movements. A movement type is a three-digit identification key for a
goods movement. The following table contains examples of movement types.

Description of Movement Types
Below you will find a short description of the standard movement types. The reversal movement
type is the movement type + 1 (reversal of 101 = 102).

101 Goods receipt for purchase order or order
If the purchase order or order has not been assigned to an account, a stock type (unrestricted-use
stock, stock in quality inspection, blocked stock) can be entered during goods receipt.
If the purchase order or order has been assigned to an account, the goods receipt is not posted to
the warehouse, but to consumption.
In the case of non-valuated materials, the goods receipt is posted to the warehouse, although the
purchase order has not been assigned to an account.
Possible special stock indicators:
• K Goods receipt for purchase order to consignment stock
• O Goods receipt for purchase order to stock of material provided to vendor
• E GR for purchase order or order to sales order stock
• Q GR for purchase order or order to project stock.
Goods receipt for
subcontract order: at goods receipt, the consumption of the components is posted at the same time
(see movement type 543)
Goods receipt for
stock transport order: at goods receipt the transported quantity is posted in the receiving plant
from stock in transit into unrestricted-use stock (stock in quality inspection or blocked stock).

103 Goods receipt for purchase order into GR blocked stock
You cannot receive goods into goods receipt blocked stock for stock transport orders.
K, O, E, Q

105 Release from GR blocked stock for purchase order
Movement type 105 has the same effects as 101.
K, O, E, Q

121 Subsequent adjustment for subcontracting
This movement type cannot be entered manually.
With a subsequent adjustment for a subcontract order it is possible to correct the consumption of
components. In this case, the material produced by the supplier is credited with the excess

consumption / under-consumption. For this reason, if there is a subsequent adjustment, an item is
generated for the produced material using movement movement type 121.
Movement type 121 does not have a reversal movement type.
Possible special stock indicators: O, E, Q

122 Return delivery to supplier or to production
Using movement type 122, you can distinguish real return deliveries for a purchase order or order
from cancellations (102).
In the standard version, you must enter a reason for the return delivery if you are using movement
type 122. This enables you to carry out evaluations for return deliveries.
The effects of movement type 122 correspond to a cancellation of movement type 101.
K, O, E, Q

123 Reversal of return delivery
If you returned a goods receipt using movement type 122, you can reverse the return delivery using
movement type 123. This movement type has the same effects as movement type 101.
K, O, E, Q

124 Return delivery to vendor from GR blocked stock
Using movement type 124 you can return a goods receipt to GR blocked stock (103).
Movement type 124 has the same effects as movement type 104.

125 Return delivery from GR blocked stock - reversal
If you returned a goods receipt to GR blocked stock using movement type 124 you can reverse the
return delivery using movement type 125.

This movement type cannot be entered manually. It is generated automatically at notification of
goods receipt for a run schedule header.

adjustment for a proportion/product unit. Subsequent adjustment is necessary if the system finds
that there has been excess consumption or under-consumption after a goods receipt posting.
K, O, E, Q

If a purchase order item is marked as a returns item, the returns to vendor are posted using
movement type 161 when the goods receipt for purchase order (101) is posted.

stocks is increased. You can also use this function if you use the Warehouse Management System
(LE-WM).
