What type of document is created when a plant to plant stock transfer is entered?

When a plant to plant stock transfer is processed in SAP S/4HANA, both a material document and an accounting document are created to reflect the transaction accurately in the system. The material document serves to track the movement of inventory between the two plants, recording changes in stock quantities and locations. This documentation is essential for inventory management and helps ensure that stock levels are updated correctly.

Simultaneously, an accounting document is generated to capture the financial impact of the transfer. This reflects any changes in value associated with the stock movement, such as adjustments in the general ledger that may occur due to the change in location of inventory. This dual-document generation ensures that both inventory and financial records remain synchronized and up-to-date, which is crucial for accurate reporting and management of resources within the organization.
