The goods receipt print service groups items by plant, storage location, movement type, and purchasing document number, and then sorts only within each group by material document, year, and item. Items that differ in a grouping field (for example, storage location) are output in separate groups, which can appear as an overall unsorted order. 

In this example, the material document items have different storage locations (item 1 & 4 have storage location 101A, while item 2 & 3 have storage location 101B). Therefore they are output in different pages.

The grouping is standard system behavior and is not supported for modification by the customer.
