SAP Note 689189 - Mat Ledger: Moving avrg price and transaction-based settlmt

Summary :
When using the material ledger with materials set to periodic unit price, accounting postings diverge from regular moving average price postings. The material ledger's design, optimized for periodic valuation through single-level or multi-level costing, generates dual FI documents for transactions: one with standard posting logic and another with settlement in the ML closing document, impacting conventional balance tracking. Differences between transaction-based settlements and MM postings result in a lack of detailed information in the PRY line items of ML documents, and uncertainties in the purchase account postings. The system does not delineate freight variances separately. Furthermore, document currencies and posting dates can differ between material ledger and MM documents, potentially complicating reconciliations. Modifications to FI closing tables are advised through BAdI CKML_UPDATE for addressing these differences.
