What documents are created when a valuated goods receipt is posted for stock materials?

When a valuated goods receipt is posted for stock materials, the system generates both a material document and an accounting document. The material document records the movement of materials, reflecting the increase in inventory on hand. It captures essential details such as the quantity received, the material number, and the reference to the purchase order associated with the receipt.

Simultaneously, the accounting document is created to reflect the financial impact of the goods receipt. This document updates the balance sheet by increasing the inventory asset account and adjusting the accounts payable related to the vendor or supplier from whom the goods were received. This dual-document generation is essential for maintaining the integrity and accuracy of both material management and financial accounting processes in SAP S/4HANA.

Other options do not accurately reflect the documents created in this context. For instance, while the purchase order and invoice document play roles in the procurement process, they are not the immediate documents generated upon the posting of a goods receipt. Similarly, the controlling document is not created in this situation, as the primary focus at the point of goods receipt is on inventory and financial changes, not controlling.
