MB5B report having discrepancies in stock

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have checked the stock balance using MB5B for date 07.04.2009. The system while executing the transaction gives a warning message saying u201CFI document summarization is active / the results may be incorrect

But on 31.03.2009 in MB5B stock value is showing as u201C319u201D and not u201C301u201D which is the correct stock balance (Ref: Transaction MC10)

Now please tell me as to what exactly is done during this FI document summarization which gives us this exact stock difference...???

waiting for your helpful answers

Regards

FI document summarization active mean actually there is only one FI document line item per G/L account in a FI document no matter how many lines are there in the corresponding material document. This affects the audit trail from FI postings back to MM postings as there is no one to one link. This type of summarization is normally required if it is normal to have FI document to have more than 999 lines as this the limit.
