# Movement Types

### Overview

A Movement Type in TilliT is comprised of a transaction type and movement type fields. The movement type defines the specific action that is taking place, such as goods issue, goods receipt, or stock take. The transaction type is the underlying activity being performed, such as consumption or production. Together, these elements provide a framework for accurately recording and managing material movement and inventory transactions in TilliT.

TilliT comes pre-loaded with Movement Types ready to be used. Depending on your business requirements, you may add, edit or delete these for your needs.
