What is Movement Type?
A three-digit key that classifies a goods movement, for example 101 goods receipt or 261 goods issue to order.
Movement types control quantity and value updates, account determination, and required fields. Reversal movement types are usually the next number, such as 102 for 101. Test scripts should cover every movement type used in a process.
