Migration of Period Totals Records – Balance Carryforward

Material ledger period totals records (CKMLPP, CKMLCR) are migrated to table ACDOCA as special migrated total entries, analogous to FI total / balance records. They are enriched by attributes that can be derived from the material assignment: G/L Account, Profit Center, and Segment.

In order to find the account assignment, the current configuration is used; no historical deviations are taken into account. This might lead to differences between FI and ML totals when looking at a time frame in the past. However, current and future data are aligned and can be reported together.

Furthermore, only attributes relevant to inventory account balances are migrated (quantity, amount). From these ACDOCA totals records, a balance carryforward can be created containing the ML attributes, in particular the material assignment. However, since partner attributes of the original postings are missing in the totals records, reporting is limited to FI data when expanding such attributes (for example, partner cost center, sales order, production order, or other receivers).
