A posting change generally refers to a bookkeeping change – a change in information – about a particular material. For most posting changes, such as changing a batch number or releasing blocked stock, the goods themselves remain in the same physical location. Reasons for Making Posting Changes Posting changes are made for several reasons. These include: Releasing stock from inspection into available stock Converting blocked stock to inspection stock Designating available material as inspection stock Changing a Material Number Splitting available materials into two or more batches Converting special stock, such as consignment stock or returned stock, into the companys own stock Changing ownership of stock in the same warehouse from one plant to another
