Difference between S_ALR_87012093 and FBL1N

[venkat2411]

Hi friends,

we know in FBL1N we can see all items (open and cleared) for a particular period.

what is S_ALR_87012093 report used for? is it same as FBL1N? 

For example, if I take period 7 all items in the FBL1N and compared to S_ALR_87012093 for period 7 will it match?

we are getting some differences in the amounts while comparing both. please suggest how to check it.

Thanks in advance.

and FBL1N (vendor Line Item display)

This program lists vendor line items (purchases, credit) . You can also display the items from more than one vendor account cross-company code in a list.

You can also change individual documents and carry out mass changes to posted line items from the list

So the difference is the line item display, does include more transactions and also gives you more functionality to

• Branch to document display
• When you are displaying posted documents, you can spring between posting items, without having to go back to the list.
• Parked documents can be displayed individually.
• Changing a document
• Mass changes
• For all the posted items selected, you can make another selection of document fields with new values. If it is not possible to make a change to a document, you can call up an error log for the item.
• Displaying account master records
• Displaying balances
