Hello, there is an SAP note that explains this - please see https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/0002481185 (logon required)

In summary it states the following:

"

Cause

Different purpose of the two reports.

The purpose of MB5S is the following: The report compares the GR quantities and values relating to a purchase order with the invoice quantities and values for the same PO.
The report can thus be used to check goods and invoice receipts when the purchasing documents show some discrepancy.

But the purpose of t-code: FAGLB03 is 'G/L Account Balance Display'.

Resolution

There is no relation between MB5S and FAGLB03, they do not have to be consistent in your system." Source: SAP
