Summary :
This SAP Note details the activation procedure for the material ledger essential for managing actual costs and parallel currencies in SAP systems. Key steps include: ensuring no goods movements and materials creation post-activation until production start-up, mandatory activation across complete company codes for seamless FI reconciliation, and initializing actual costing at period start for multilevel costing. Before activation, clear existing purchase orders and minimize dataset volumes to enhance performance, ensuring material and purchase order data from legacy systems are integrated. Post-activation, necessary customizing settings should be validated using transaction CKM9, and data reconciliation for parallel currencies should be conducted post-production start-up.
