SAP Note 215839 - MB5L: Balance variance when using selections

Component : IM Reporting (no LIS) -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/215839 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
The SAP Note discusses an issue with report RM07MBST, which shows discrepancies in the balance between materials management and financial accounting when selection fields such as material, valuation area, type, or class are filled. This occurs as the database selection based on these fields only totals specific stock segments, while the material stock account's overall value remains unaffected. The recommended solution advises against using selection options related to the G/L account number assignment for checking MM/FI balance. Instead, using report RM07MMFI from Note 198596 is suggested, emphasizing minimal field entries to enhance performance.
