Differences MB51 and MCPM

Former Member

Hi experts,

When analysing GR quantities for process orders, both tcodes show different results sometimes. I noticed that MCPM, which uses infostructure S021 only has one data record (created after final confirmation of process order), whereas MB51 shows every GR document (there are always several for every process order). So if we execute both tcodes for a time range of one month and have GRs in this month, but the order has been confirmed in the next month, MCPM won't show anything, since there is only one data record created in the next month.

Is there a way to update S021 with all GR quantities and documents, as shown in MB51, immediately, so that we don't get this difference?

Many thanks in advance.

Martin

Hi Martin,

MCPM reads the info from S021. S021 is updated from table AFRU. MB51 read the material documents. So there two transactions are not the same and should not be compared.

These are the update rule of S021:

Maybe you can try to change the update rule of S021, or what it would be better, create a new info structure according to your requirements.

Thanks and Regards,

Thanks Mariano. I think you are right. It is not really comparable. S021 is a standard structure and you can't change the update rules, so the only way would be to create a new custom structure. Thanks, Martin
