How to solve difference/variance in MB5L?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I found differences/variances between "Materials" amount vs "Stock Account" from MB5L the these two accounts:

Current Period (Jul 2013)

Previous Period (Jun 2013)

The variance occurs due to adjustments directly made to the GL (Stock Account) and not reflected in the Materials. The adjustments made due to difference found between actual and system amount during the Stock Count activity.

My question is: Is there any proper way to resolve these differences/variances? So there will be no difference between the Material amount (MBEW?) and Stock Account (BSEG?)

Please advise.

Thank you very much!

Hi,

   The differences are coming due to direct GL postings to stock account. As per SAP standard, the stock accounts to be posted automatically only. Please read the note 968812 , which explains the particular issue in detail.

   Physical inventory is not for stock value check. It is actually for stock quantity correction so that the stock value automatically get corrected.

Hope its helpful.
