Process documentation Logical Inventory Adjustment (LIA) Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Purpose

The LIA serves the purpose of settling an exchange agreement with internal material settlements. In internal material settlements, the material is not billed to the partner, but rather the quantity of material is internally posted. The internal material settlement results in a "logical inventory adjustment" being posted for each goods movement for the material. The logical inventory for a material means the material quantity, which, due to exchange movements that took place, exists as payables or receivables with respect to the exchange partner. Logical inventory can be settled using an LIA, in which settlement is in material quantities.

It is also possible to settle the difference between delivered and received material with a payment. Open quantities can also be transferred to another exchange agreement, which has the effect that the items in the first exchange agreement are settled and the exchange agreement can be closed.

Process Flow

  1. When the material is not charged to your exchange partner due to an internal material settlement, but rather is posted as logical inventory, you can carry out a logical inventory adjustment.
  2. You determine the LIA document type and the exchange partner.
  3. You determine whether the imbalance between delivered and received material is to be settled by:

ausgeglichen wird.

  1. You save the LIA.
