Hi guys.
We are planning to correct the data due to MM/FI difference in material stocks. These discrepancies dates back to 2014 and 2015.
We have applied sap notes 1776835 (Preventing inconsistencies by posting termination in MM).
We are going to implement sap correction 1856641 - Material document shows "Archived" in document flow.
Since the FY 2014 and 2015 are closed, here's our initially plan:
1. Lock SAP from any user other than us.
2. Open the MM FI periods on the months affected.
3. Apply the note correction.
4. Check the balances of material stocks and FI
5. If everthing is ok, revert to the current period in MM and FI.
I know the above is rather simple and will cause a lot of complications. Any insights helpful to us is ahighly appreciated.
Auditors have been chasing us. Users can only present manual (Excel) reports that reconcile the balances, but no SAP or customized report was also helpful in showing that the books are consistent.
Thanks for your time.
