Hi Mallikarjun

Please find below inforamtion of movement types , use and configuration need.

1. What are movement types

When you enter a goods movement in the system, you must enter a movement type to differentiate between the various goods movements. A movement type is a three-digit identification key for a goods movement

The movement type is important because it controls the screen layout, adjustment of inventories, the GL account for financial purposes

2. a new movement type can be created for a goods movement

eg a new movement type to differentiate between the inventory posting transaction

3. A movement type can be created using T code OMJJ. Copying an existing movement type and modifying the field contents can create a new movement type. The SAP system is delivered with some pre-defined movement types from 100 to 899. 900 onwards can be used for customized movement types.
