Which document is updated when a good receipt is confirmed?

When a goods receipt is confirmed in the SAP system, it leads to the generation of a material document. This document serves as an essential record of the movement of goods within the system, detailing the quantity and type of materials received, as well as the associated inventory changes. The material document captures crucial information for inventory management, such as the storage location and the batch number if applicable. It is automatically created during the goods receipt posting process and plays a fundamental role in ensuring accurate inventory valuation and stock levels within the enterprise resource planning framework of SAP S/4HANA.

The other document types mentioned do not get updated in the context of a goods receipt. The order confirmation document is generally related to the confirmation of purchase orders, the purchase requisition is a request for procurement that does not directly reflect the receipt of goods, and the vendor contract document pertains to the terms and conditions agreed upon with a vendor rather than the physical receipt of goods. Thus, the material document is the correct choice as it directly reflects the outcome of the goods receipt process.
