It describes how corrections in the material master, specifically for stock quantities and valuation discrepancies, are implemented through a structured three-step process: comparing material stocks to corresponding documents, adjusting valuation table entries, and aligning material values with accounting documentation. It notes changes that do not necessitate the creation of accounting documents under certain conditions. Key technical features, such as RM07SHUP for change logging and corrective action processes related to QM and WM systems, are also covered.
