1. Objective and Scope

1.1. Objective of this Operation

The purpose of this document is to control the reliability between FI-GL and FI-M module, and how to control negative stocks.

This check is to be sure that the amount of the financial accounting is accurate, as so, we need to check that the total amount by account is the same as the total of the amounts of each Material. On top of this, since in reality inventories cannot be negative, negative stocks in the system are checked to identify missing movements.
