  Go to the transaction code OMJJ (or SPRO -> Logistics Execution -> Inventory Management -> Movement Types -> Define Movement Types).
  Check if the required movement types are defined. If not, create them according to your business requirements.
  Ensure that the movement types are properly configured with the necessary settings (e.g., stock type, account determination, etc.).
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the movement types are assigned to the relevant processes (e.g., goods receipt, goods issue, transfer postings).
