SAP Note 524289 - Material ledger: Balance on price difference accounts

Component : Actual Costing/Material Ledger -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/524289 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
After period-end closing in SAP's material ledger, balances may persist on price difference accounts due to accumulated price differences in FI, notably under standard price controls. The resolution involves identifying specific transaction keys (PRD, KDM, AUM, AKO) which account for these differences, either settling them through the ML or addressing issues like manual postings or assignments on the same accounts from other transactions. Best practice includes ensuring that only movements in ML-active plants post to these accounts and that the material ledger does not retain 'Not Distributed' or 'Not Included' differences to maintain a zero balance.
