Which stock types can you post a goods receipt without referencing a purchase order or production order?

When posting a goods receipt without referencing a purchase order or production order, quality inspection stock is a valid stock type that allows for such a transaction. Quality inspection stock is used for materials that are being checked before they can be released for inventory use. This stock type provides flexibility in managing materials that require quality control before they are deemed suitable for production or sale.

In SAP Materials Management, quality inspection stock can be accepted without a predefined order because it reflects a situation where materials have arrived and are under inspection. If they pass inspection, they can then be moved to unrestricted-use stock.

The other stock types mentioned have restrictions that necessitate reference to a purchase or production order for goods receipt postings. Nonvaluated GR blocked stock and valuated GR blocked stock are primarily used for goods that cannot be used until they are cleared either through inspection or for accounting purposes. Lastly, unrestricted-use stock is available for use immediately and is also typically linked to a purchase order or production order, thus cannot be posted without those references.
