Question

Options

• AA warehouse task is created.
• BThe material reservation is reduced.
• CInternal labor costs are posted.
• DA material ledger document is created
• EActual costs are updated in the production order.

• A
  12% (3)
• B
  84% (21)
• C
  4% (1)

Explanation

Posting a goods issue against a production order consumes the reserved materials, which reduces the material reservation (B) - the system clears or decreases the planned component requirement. This financial transaction generates a material ledger document (D) to record the inventory movement and valuation, and simultaneously updates actual costs on the production order (E) because material consumption is a real cost that hits the order.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• (A) Warehouse task - warehouse tasks are created during warehouse management transfer orders (e.g., picking), not during the goods issue posting itself; the goods issue is the step after picking.
• (C) Internal labor costs - these are posted via activity/time confirmations (CO11N), not goods issues; goods issues only handle material costs.

Memory tip: Think "GI = Gone from Inventory → 3 things happen: Reservation shrinks, Ledger records it, Order costs rise." The mnemonic R-L-C (Reservation, Ledger, Cost) covers B, D, E. Labor and warehouse tasks belong to different transactions entirely.
