Hi,

Just try to run the SDFI_CONSISTENCY_CHECK report and analyze what could be cause for such a system behaviour.

A comparison program between Billing and Accounting for the Audit Informatio System (AIS).

You need to have the following authorization role SAP_AUDITOR_BA_SD to the user id to execute the same.

For each billing document and account, the program maps the differences between the billing document values and the accounting amounts. For each account, it maps the total of all billing document values and the total of all accounting amounts. You can use the differences to find billing documents where incorrect accounting amounts were posted. You can use totalling to check accounts to which incorrect amounts have been posted. The system takes the amounts into consideration for the differences and also for the totals in the document currency.

The user is responsible for the evaluation. To enable you to quickly find inconsistencies, the program offers you the option of displaying only billing documents that contain differences. As an additional aid, you can go directly to the billing document, and from there display the accounting documents. You cannot make changes to documents. Various filter functions and sort options make the evaulation easier.

Execution Help:

a) Selection

The selection screen enables you to select billing documents by document number, billing date, company code, and posting period with fiscal year.

The checkbox 'Only Documents with Differences' specifies whether the system also includes documents without errors in the results list.

The system does not check all entered billing documents, or billing documents determined using other selection fields. The program extracts from the selection only billing documents with 'Accounting document created' as the status for transmission to accounting. For technical reasons, down payment requests are ignored.

Some reasons for the cause:

If the system cache not being cleared during scheduled batch process. For this the basis and technical team can help you to sort it out

Another case may be whether the accounting document is creating based on number of products.Our system has the

configuration to split FI accounting by product wise.Check the transaction OBCY.

Hi, Saju,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, I did find the inconsistency with SDFI_CONSISTENCY_CHECK, I just have no idea why it happened...

And I can't simulate this result again by any means, a billing doc(fully billing) associated with 2 identical accounting docs(different numbers)...
