as with maintaining all additional data. However, this is not the case for the following
data:

A. Variant configuration and assignment for a configurable material
B. Export licenses and customs tariff preferences
C. Production versions

The pure material data is transferred in an Idocs, and the additional data in an individual
Idocs. This has the following reasons:

A. For most additional data there are already Idocs and corresponding distribution
and transfer functions available.
B. The additional data must be distributable separately, as there are normally
possibilities for individual maintenance, as well as the material master, for this
data.

The stocks are managed not only on a quantity basis but also by value. The system
automatically updates the following data each time there is a goods movement:

a source of information for any other applications involved.
B. If the movement is relevant for Financial Accounting, one or more accounting
documents are generated.

immediately detect and report variances in the order price quantity during the
goods receipt.

In the Customizing system for Inventory Management, you can define two tolerances for
variances in the order price quantity:
