A goods receipt is posted for a production order. What are the results? Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question.

Question

Options

• AActual costs are credited to the production order.
• BA EWM inbound delivery order could be created.
• CThe production order is deleted in the stock/requirements list.
• DThe stock account is credited.
• EInternal labor costs are posted.

• A
  72% (33)
• D
  20% (9)
• E
  9% (4)

Explanation

When a goods receipt is posted for a production order, the inventory (stock) account is debited and the production order is credited with actual costs - making A correct and eliminating D, which reverses this logic. C is correct because the production order's open receipt disappears from MD04 (the stock/requirements list) once the goods are received, as the planned receipt has been fulfilled. B is correct because in systems with SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) integrated, the goods receipt can trigger the creation of an inbound delivery order to manage putaway within the warehouse.

D is wrong because the stock account is debited (inventory increases), not credited - the credit goes to the production order. E is wrong because internal labor costs are posted via order confirmations (time tickets entered during or after production operations), not during the goods receipt step.

Memory tip: Use the acronym "GR = Debit Stock, Credit Order" - goods receipt always increases inventory (debit) and settles costs back to the order (credit). EWM and MD04 updates are system-integration side effects of the GR posting, rounding out the three correct answers.
