📋 Chapter: Movement Types

In CIS mobile, movement types control how material transactions are posted in the SAP system. They define which kind of stock movement is triggered – for example, a transfer between locations, a goods issue for an order, or a consignment-related transaction.

Configuration determines which movement types are used in various business scenarios.
