• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /NFM/CA708 - Movement type is not a 'receipt' type ?

  The SAP error message /NFM/CA708 Movement type is not a 'receipt' type typically occurs in the context of inventory management or materials management when a movement type that is not classified as a receipt type is used in a transaction that expects a receipt movement type.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Movement Type: The movement type used in the transaction is not defined as a receipt type in the system. Receipt movement types are typically used for goods receipts, such as when receiving goods from a vendor or transferring stock into inventory.
  Configuration Issues: The movement type may not be properly configured in the system to be recognized as a receipt type.

  Check Movement Type: Verify the movement type being used in the transaction. Ensure that it is indeed a receipt movement type. Common receipt movement types include 101 (Goods Receipt for Purchase Order), 102 (Cancellation of Goods Receipt), etc.
  Use Correct Movement Type: If the movement type is incorrect, change it to an appropriate receipt movement type that fits the context of the transaction.
  Configuration Review: If you believe the movement type should be a receipt type, check the configuration in the SAP system:
  
  Go to the transaction code OMJJ to review and configure movement types.
  Ensure that the movement type is set up correctly and is marked as a receipt type.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on movement types and their classifications.
