Goods Receipt/Issue Slip for Goods Movements

A document in printed form is often required for a physical goods movement. In inventory management, this document is known as a goods receipt/issue slip (GR or GI slip) and is used as follows:

  • A shipping paper (GR or GI slip) for the warehouse
  • An identification slip (pallet slip) for the material
  • An issue slip during a GI

In addition to GR or GI slips, inventory management offers the option of printing material document information on labels.

The stockkeeping unit is the unit in which the stock of a material is managed. You can enter goods movements in other units of measure, if these units of measure are defined in the material master record as alternative units of measure or as standard conversions (for example, grams into kilograms). If the unit of entry differs from the stock keeping unit, the system converts the quantity from the unit of entry into the stockkeeping unit.
