    1) Activating material ledger in only one plant out of five in a company could cause reconciliation issues with financials, as ML cannot reconcile if some plants are active and others are not. 2) It is recommended to activate ML for the entire company code to ensure reconciliation with financials and allow invoice verification for materials across all plants. 3) Activating ML for only some plants may cause errors, but transactions from inactive plants that have never been used should still balance with financials if controlled by the user.

    ML activation in one plant

    This question is answered


    Hi
    We do valuation at plant level.
    We have to activate Material Ledger in one plant, the company has 5 production plants. I need to
    know that whether there will be any impact on others plants where ML will not be activated.
    Some materials are extended to all five plants.
    regards
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    The issue is that you cannot reconcile ML with FI, if a plant is activated in ML and other plants in
    the same company code are not ML active.
    Please, check attached note 596558, which provides recommendations on Material Ledger
    startup, specially the following:
    ...
    b) Always activate the material ledger for a complete company code and copy all currencies
    from FI. This is the only way to ensure the reconciliation with FI.
    c) In addition, it is recommended that you activate the material ledger for a complete company
    code because the invoice verification can neither store invoices that contain materials from plants
    the material ledgers of which are active nor more materials from plants the material ledger of
    which is not active.
    You get the info message BL 001, when the program CKMSTART as long as not all plants of a
    company code are ML productive.
    If these plants which are not active in Material Ledger are unused and have never had any
    transactions, there should be no problem to balance with FI but this should be controlled by the
    user.
    Notes 596558 and 398949 provide complete information about
    Material Ledger startup.
    Kind regards,
    Maria
