Hi,
It is better to use MIGO.
MIGO replaces all the conventional transactions for posting goods movements, whose transaction codes start with MB*.
You can use the transaction (MIGO) to post the following goods movements:
- Goods receipts from external procurement
- Goods receipts for orders
- 'Other' goods receipts
- Return deliveries and subsequent deliveries
- Goods issues
- Transfer postings and stock transfers
- Subsequent adjustment for subcontracting
The advantages this transaction brings
This transaction provides many advantages over the old transaction for posting goods movements, for example:
- You can maintain and display all the data on one screen. You can find all the information you need for an item without having to switch from screen to screen. You can just hide any detailed information you do not require.
- When you enter goods movements, the system does not issue any messages; before you post the goods movements, you can display all the messages at once.
- Instead of having to enter the same data every time you enter a new goods movement (for example, plant, storage location, or movement type), you enter the data you use most often only once via Settings -> Default values. The system then proposes this data every time you enter a goods movement.
- If you do not know the exact name of the material, plant, or storage location, you just enter part of the number or a description. The system then searches for and proposes the complete term for you.
How the screen is structured
The screen is split into three areas:
- Overview tree
You can show and hide this area via the Overview on/off pushbutton. The overview screen displays the last ten documents for orders, reservations, material documents or held data. You thereby always have an overview of the last activities you carried out.
- Header data
You can show and hide this area via the Open/close header data pushbutton.
- Detail data
You can show this area by clicking on the item for which you want to display detail data in the Line column of the item overview. You can hide the detail data again by choosing Close detail data.
Each time you call up the transaction, the screen is displayed as it was configured the last time you used it.
