SAP Note 487162 - MRKO: Manual clearing of consignment liabilities account

Component : Consignment Settlement - Invoice Verification

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/487162 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
When posting a consignment withdrawal in SAP inventory management and settling it using Transaction MRKO, an issue arises where the consignment liabilities account isn't automatically cleared. This may leave the account open, necessitating a manual clearance in FI. The discrepancy often occurs due to changes in exchange rates between withdrawal and invoice posting times or the way taxes are handled during the withdrawal and settlement phases. Particularly, without automatic adjustment for exchange rate differences or exclusion of taxes (like NVV) in the inventory phase, manual adjustments in FI must employ Transactions FB01 or FB60. SAP recommends consulting Note 393571 for exchange issues and Note 135238 for further instruction on manual clearing processes.

Key words :
consignment liabilities account remains open, gr/gr clearing account, exchange rate difference account, price difference account, consignment liabilities account, tax jurisdiction code, posting record occurs, posted invoice document, material withdrawal item, remains open
