MM and FI value difference / MB5L

Posted on Jun 11, 2014 at 11:20 PM 3.9k Views

Hi,

We are having differences between MM valuation and G/L account valuation (inventory a/c). I ran report MB5L to get these differences.

My concern is how to find these differences or how to identity the transactions, materials etc. causing the differences.

I referred previous threads on this topic, but couldn't find the clear answer to how to find transactions/ materials causing differences.

I ran report MB5L with options - company code/ select balance, current period/ display individual material line.

Thanks,

Pat.

    Root cause was found. 😊

    Its MR11 - GR/IR account maintenance. There was an enhancement during MR11 posting - not to post to inventory account, but to post to some other adjustment account. Because of this, whenever business used to clear GR/IR account, it used to change the MM valuation, but it was not hitting the inventory account causing the differences.

    How did we find the issue - we fetched all the entries from table BSEG for transaction KTOSL = BSX and G/L account HKONT # inventory account and analyzed the records.

    We have now removed that enhancement.

    Thanks for the help.

    How you know that there are some difference in MM and FI valuation ? Who told you ?

    MB5L will give the stock amount of a G/L account.

    Hi,

    How you are sure-you are having differences between MM valuation and G/L account valuation (inventory a/c)?

    Cross check your MB5L report with report details by entering G/L account(inventory a/c) in FBL3N

    Also cross check by referring tables MBEW and MBEWH in t.code: SE11.

    Any difference just track all materials movement details in transaction code: S_P00_07000139

    Regards,

    Biju K
