Post Goods Movements Via Shipping Application

[Arthur Wang]

When would it be prudent to post goods movements via the Shipping Application?

Answer:

It is prudent to use the Shipping Application if picking, packing, and transportation operations need to be planned in detail. This means that if you have a complex logistics process where you need to track the status of each stage of the shipment, it’s a good idea to use the Logistics Execution Shipping Application.

Additionally, the Shipping Application can be used to manage movements like returns from customers, vendors, and returns to stock. This means that if you need to handle returns as part of your logistics process, the Shipping Application can be a useful tool.

The movement types in shipping start with a 6, for example 601 for Post Goods Issue and 602 for Return Delivery. In SAP MM, movement types are used to represent the type of goods movement that is taking place, such as a 101 Goods Receipt or 601 Goods Issue via delivery. Each movement type has its own specific configuration and behavior, so it’s important to choose the correct movement type when posting a goods movement. In the case of shipping, movement types starting with a 6 are used to represent goods movements related to shipping.
