Definition

If you select this indicator, the system outputs special check amounts statistics on the print list.

Four different counters are included:

  1. Per material type: The number of material master records read without noting the valuation segments
  2. Per material type and valuation area: The number of valuation segments read without noting the respective stock situation
  3. Per material type and valuation area: The number of valuation segments read that contain a positive stock quantity
  4. Per material type and valuation area: a stock quantity total without dimension

You should bear the following in mind when interpreting the check amounts:

  1. The level of the stock quantities analyzed depends on the key date or time frame for which you run the program. For example, if this is the current day's date, the comparison between different program runs generally leads to meaningless results. It is equally problematic to compare the figures for different program runs if the key date lies in a period that you can still make postings to after running the program. You should only use the check amounts display when the time frame lies in a closed period in the past.
  2. The entire valuated stock in the valuation segments of the material master flows into the quantity total. In the case of split valuation, the system analyzes only the stock quantities of the valuation types.

It can make sense to output the check amounts for the following purposes:

  1. To compare the scope of different procedures for balance sheet valuation
  2. To compare the scope of program runs for executing and analyzing the balance sheet valuation
  3. To check the complete scope of the run, in case individual procedures are performed in portions (for example, due to extremely large material master records)
  4. To compare the scope of program runs for balance sheet valuation to other procedures outside the R/3 System
