• Message text: Different operation quantity in ckmi1 record and acc. document.

What causes this issue?

The system detected a difference in the operation quantities between
the ckmi1 record and the corresponding accounting document(s).
The ckmi1 record concerned was posted to the posting period &V1& of the
fiscal year &V2&. The entry date was &V3&. The reference document
number is &V3&.

The ckmi1 record will be marked as inconsistant.
Please note that the operation quantity on the output list is taken
from the material document. (This is necessary because if the operation
value is zero there is not necessarily an accounting document even if
the goods movement quantity is different from zero.)

Please note down the document numbers of the accounting documents
corresponding to the ckm1 record. (This is done most easily using the

  The SAP error message FCMLHELP034 indicates a discrepancy between the operation quantity recorded in the CKMI1 table (which stores material master data for cost management) and the corresponding quantity in the accounting document. This error typically arises during the processing of material movements or during the execution of a transaction that involves cost accounting.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: The most common cause of this error is a mismatch between the quantities recorded in the material document and the accounting document. This can happen due to:

  Errors during the posting of goods movements or invoice verification.
  System errors or bugs that lead to inconsistent data entries.

  Solution:
