Symptom
When posting goods movement to previous period, system generate 2 FI documents. It's not clear why.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Cause
With Material Ledger activated (in Public Cloud it's by default), when opening new period, system will generate opening inventory value basing on the ending inventory value in previous period.
If posting date is in previous period, goods movement will generate 2 FI documents. One is to update previous period, and the other one is to update current period.
Resolution
It's standard system behavior.
