What is Goods Movement?
A physical or logical stock change, such as receipt, issue, or transfer, recorded in SAP with a movement type.
Goods movements update stock quantities and values and trigger FI postings via account determination. They are created by MIGO or automatically by deliveries and production confirmations. Tests verify quantity, value, and GL accounts posted.
