      I don't balance - that's the financial analyst and inventory directors, but we had a class back in 2008 with a Lawson consultant and the following reports were created to prevent gl discrepancies:

      * Non-stock report - details items added to the IC12 where inventory tracked flag is set to "N" as this creates AP and PO entries on the inventory account. You can also see this by using the drop down filters on IC12.
      * Inactive items with SOH report - as the value is now stuck on the inventory account.
      * IC220, IC234 and PO135 are run for all locations at month end close and saved to the financial analysts common drive. The IC234 tells them what the amount on the inventory account SHOULD be. IC220 provides details for the IC entries on the expense accounts and the PO135 is the RNI detail which does include the inventory values posted by the IC130.
      * Subs were being added to the PO as X type items but then using the inventory account - this has been changed to the expense account so the inventory locations must eval how to bring them in or transfer out
      * Set a recurring daily WH221 report as the allocated not printed items were affecting the average cost
      * Set a monthly conference call between all Central Supply locations to troubleshoot UOM discrepancies
      * Set monthly WH222 prior to month end for inventory locations to void out "orphans" on WH32

      Somewhere in all of that is the data the financial analysts are using to balance, but as I said, I'm not the one that actually does it - I just know I have to provide it.
