Final answer:
In SAP Financial Accounting, a. FI document is created in both one-step and two-step plant-to-plant movements to reflect the financial changes resulting from the inventory transfer.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the context of SAP Financial Accounting (FI), when discussing plant-to-plant transfer, the creation of an FI document may vary depending on whether it is a one-step or two-step movement. A plant-to-plant transfer usually involves the movement of inventory from one location to another within the same company. In SAP, this can be executed by either a one-step process (single transaction) or a two-step process (two transactions).
For a one-step movement, an FI document is created immediately when the transfer is posted because the transaction is considered complete once the goods are issued from the sending plant. In contrast, for a two-step movement, the process is divided into two parts: first, the goods issue is posted which may generate an FI document, and afterwards, a goods receipt is posted at the receiving plant, which will also generate an FI document.
Therefore, the correct option in answer to the student's question is: a. An FI document is created in both one-step and two-step movements. This means that throughout both processes, an FI document is created to reflect the financial changes resulting from the inventory transfer.
