Value difference with 309 movement type

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

Below is the scenario

309 movement type is being used for transfer of stock from one material to another but the UoM is different for sending and receiving material. Std SAP will not allow this process as it will shown an error message and the same is converted to information message to carryout the transaction. Subsequently entries were posted to using this movement type.

While posting the entries, in the receiving material, two amounts got posted. One with the UoM of the receiving material and one with the UoM of the sending material. But only one accounting document got generated (one with the UoM in the receiving material) and as such there is difference in Value as per MB5B (MM Value) and MC.9 (FI  Value) and the same is carried to FI balances as well. The amount is something around 3 million (30 lakhs). As a result of this in MC.9 (whose value is tallying with FI balances) is showing negative amounts for receiving material.

Now that movement type is blocked for posting. But the value difference is being still shown.

How to address this value difference? This needs to be addressed at the earliest, so kindly advise.

Thanks

Suresh.

I actually wonder about "having made the error message an information message".

This message

M7105 Stockkeeping units XX and YY differ

is a hard coded error message.

in program MM07MFU0_UMLAGERMAT_PRUEFEN

and as well in  /CWM/LMATMU13

in both programs it is coded like this:  MESSAGE e105 WITH mseg-meins mbefu-meins.

the knowledge base article explains it as error too:

1521163 - Error M7105 when transferring Material to Material with Different Units of Measure.

And in help.sap.com it is explained that both materials have to have the same base unit.

Had you modified that? and wonder now why the program did not work as expected?

any correction in FI will not have any effect to MC.9 info structure.
