• Key Concepts: 
  Material ledger settlement is a process in SAP Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC) that allows for the comparison of actual costs to planned costs. It is used to determine the differences between the two and to adjust the material ledger accordingly. The material ledger is a record of all material costs associated with a particular product or production order. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The material ledger settlement process can be initiated manually or automatically. To initiate it manually, go to the CO-PC menu and select “Material Ledger Settlement”. This will open a window where you can enter the relevant data such as the production order number, material number, and cost element. Once you have entered all of the necessary information, click “Execute” to start the process.
