A Comprehensive Guide to SAP S/4HANA Material Ledger & Integrated Logistics

Ready to master SAP S/4HANA’s most powerful (and mandatory) tool? 🚀

Navigating SAP S/4HANA can be a game-changer for business, but one component often causes confusion: the Material Ledger (ML). This isn’t just a new feature; it’s the core of inventory valuation and a single source of truth for finance and logistics.

Our latest guide, “A Comprehensive Guide to SAP S/4HANA Material Ledger & Integrated Logistics,” breaks it all down for end users, key users, and consultants. It demystifies ML and Actual Costing, showing you how to move beyond standard prices to truly understand your product’s profitability.

### What’s Inside Our Guide?

Why ML is a Game-Changer: Learn how ML and its now-mandatory activation in S/4HANA solve the problem of disconnected variances, providing a single, unified view of your inventory.
Core Concepts Explained: We simplify terms like Price Control ‘S’ and ‘V’, Variances, and the Periodic Unit Price (PUP), making these complex concepts easy to grasp.
End-to-End Process Flow: Follow a practical, real-world example of manufacturing high-performance bicycles. We walk you through the entire journey, from setting up master data to:
Procure-to-Pay (P2P): See how the system captures Purchase Price Variances the moment you receive goods.
Plan-to-Produce (P2P): Discover how Production Variances (from labor and material usage) are recorded and tracked.
Order-to-Cash (O2C): Understand how Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) is initially posted at standard cost and later revalued to actual cost.
The Actual Costing Run: We highlight the “star of the show”—the month-end process that rolls up all variances to determine the true, actual cost of your products and inventory.
Powerful Fiori Analytics: Explore how modern S/4HANA Fiori apps like Material Price Analysis give you real-time insights into stock values, price trends, and profitability, all powered by the simplified Universal Journal (ACDOCA).

### Why this matters for you:

Whether you’re a beginner trying to understand why your inventory postings look different or a consultant preparing for an S/4HANA implementation, this guide is your essential resource. It not only explains the “what” and “how” but also provides a comprehensive test plan with step-by-step scenarios to help you practice and validate the concepts.
