How To Create Stock For Testing Purposes in SAP S/4HANA – A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Transaction code MIGO: Goods Receipt Other

Go to transaction code MIGO in your SAP system.

2. Initial fields at top of MIGO screen

Carefully examine the top of your MIGO screen and make sure the top three fields (boxed in red) are set to the following as seen in the screen print below:
The first field on the left is the “Executable Action” field. Make sure this is set to A01 Goods Receipt. Any of the other eleven choices in the Drop List are wrong for this operation so don’t be led astray.

The second field from the left in the screen print above is the “Reference Document” field. Choose the last option R10 Other. The other droids are not the ones you are looking for.

Finally, you will notice the third red box all the way over on the right side which is the “Movement Type” field. The SAP Movement Type to create stock out of thin air is number 561, otherwise identified in the system as “Receipt per initial entry of stock balances into unr.-use.” Put another way, when you create a new company and need to set the initial stock level in the system to the real physical value in the warehouse, you’ll use number 561. Or if you just want to create the stock out of thin air for testing purposes, this will be the one.

3. Material tab at bottom of MIGO screen

After setting those top three values, we’ll go spelunking down to the bottom of the MIGO screen and click the Material tab as seen in in the red box in the screen print below:

4. Material field in Material tab

Input the material for which you want to load the inventory level. Note that SAP reads your entry and provides extra details to assist your confirmation that you have selected the right material. Hit enter when done.

5. Quantity tab at bottom of MIGO screen

Now, input the amount of units by which you want to bump up your inventory. Remember you are creating stock out of thin air. So this is the time to ask yourself, do you think big? Go large my friend. Size matters. I’m going to increase the inventory by 10,000 units, just because I can.

6. Where tab at bottom of MIGO screen

Now click to select the Where tab.

7. Batch No of MIGO Screen

Need to add batch no

8. Serial No of MIGO Screen

Must have serial no for FG

9. Check and Posting of MIGO

You can see evidence of your handiwork by referring to the message at the bottom of your MIGO screen circled in red.
