Material ledger between ECC6.0 and S/4 HANA

[kensaku_negita]

What are the functional changes to the material ledger between ECC6.0 and S/4 HANA?

Specifications for when actual costing journal entries are recorded, cost component specifications, reports, etc.

Hi @kensaku_negita 

There are quite a few information blogs, that  are already available to clarify on the same:

With S/4HANA PCE, Universal Parallel Accounting (UPA), which again provides significant changes as well. You might also want to review the below blogs:

​The contents of this case corresponded to Note 2354768.
If anyone can explain the contents of the description, please do so.
----------------------------
Functional changes/improvements
Material Price Analysis (Transaction CKM3):
1.No separate view for Cost Components, but integrated in main screen
2.Flag for selection of cost components not relevant for material valuation, or only cost components relevant for material valuation; by default selection of inventory relevant cost component split. This behavior can be enhanced by implementing SAP Support Note 2467398 (further details are described within this note)
3.Display of WIP Reduction for material; by default WIP Reduction is hidden; If WIP reduction is displayed, both WIP reduction and consumption of WIP for order are shown in opposite sign in different folder.
4.Plan/Actual Comparison is removed in new CKM3 →Is there an alternative function?
