Which goods movement in SAP S/4HANA results in an increase in stock quantity?

When evaluating which goods movement in SAP S/4HANA results in an increase in stock quantity, the correct choice is goods receipt. A goods receipt is the process of recording the arrival of goods into inventory, which directly adds to the stock levels in the system. This is typically associated with the receipt of purchased materials or assets from vendors, ensuring that the inventory reflects this new supply accurately.

In contrast, the other options involve different types of inventory transactions that either decrease stock or do not necessarily increase it:

• Goods Issue refers to the process of removing stock from inventory, often for sales or internal consumption, which results in a decrease of stock quantity.

• Transfer Posting is used to change the status or type of stock (for example, from unrestricted to blocked) or to relocate stock within storage locations, but it does not inherently increase the overall quantity.

• Stock Transfer involves moving stock from one location to another within the organization, which does not necessarily increase the total stock quantity, as it merely reallocates existing stock.

Therefore, goods receipt is the movement that explicitly causes an increase in stock quantity within the system.
