Hi,

We do GI - Goods Issue, when we are have a delivery doc. created against the Sales Order and we move goods out from the factory to the customer location through transport or courier. Usually tcode :VL02n

When we recieve goods from soome one outside say a vendor or supplier or a customer in case of a faulty goods for returns, we do a goods reciept - GR, so that the movement of goods is into the factory / Plant / Storage Location.Vl02N or MIGO

Both are associated with movement types.

Thanks

Hi

GI is Goods Issue , where Goods are issued to the customer from the warehouse / storage location

GR Is Goods receipt where In returns the customer sends the receipts and or the third party issues a goods receipt for what he had delivered

Hello,

GI stands for Goods Issue, means when you do any sale, the goods will be issued from the warehouse to the customer. Here you will do a post goods issue of the delivery.

Term used in inventory management to describe a reduction in warehouse stock due, for instance, to a withdrawal of stock or the delivery of goods to a customer.

GR stands for Goods receipt, in sales perspective, when the customer returns the goods because of any reason, you need to receive the goods in to your storage location. Here you do a post goods receipt of the delivery.

Term from the field of inventory management denoting a physical inward movement of goods or materials

Hi,

To complete your finish product and send it to customer,you need some raw materials for example.

These raw materials procured externally,once the vendor delivers the raw material as per your requirements,you receive the goods and do goods receipt posting in SAP.Tcode is MIGO.This is from Materials Management point of view.

If you take Warehouse Managepoint of view.

when you are selling to customers you need to do Goods issue.

When cyustomer returns (due to any reason) than you do goods receipt.
